"Mean" in the statistical sense. That is where you need to start, in terms of understanding about "the average lawyer".
Also, "Mean" in the linguistic sense. Like, "Did you mean to tell the world that you cannot understand the concept of outliers and/ or exceptions to the rule?"
Also, "mean" in the "nasty" sense. "I know someone who was a chaiwala and became PM. Does that mean that I should drop out of IIM and become a chaiwala if I want to be PM?"
