| We live in a sad era that mistakes mean-spirited arrogance for intellectual daring, juvenile nastiness for independence of mind, the dung beetle for the artist. |
| Both are attached to a mean-spirited local farmer named Patricio, one as his neglected wife, the other as his mistress. |
| He's grouchy, mean-spirited, and crude, but, of course, hiding a heart of gold just waiting to be melted by the wonderful ladies on his team. |
| You breathed new life into this miserable old cavern, into a community of small-minded, mean-spirited people. |
| It was that this is a thoroughly unimaginative, mean-spirited and even, dare I say, anti-human idea. |
| If you chase someone to repay the tenner you lent them, you look mean-spirited and churlish. |
