A compound of the word meant and means. It is used to refer to the specific feeling a person has when he or she is reminded of an event, place, person, word, or thing that at one point in the past was perceived to have overbearing significance on future events, but in retrospect, had little to no impact, negative or positive, on the person's present situation.
Nick - I heard that the high school student body president election was rigged when we were 17.

Damien - So?

Nick - Well at the time it meant a lot to me. I really wanted to put that on to my application to Yale; I thought not having it would prevent me from getting accepted.

Damien - You still got in, didn't you? It doesn't mean anything to you now. It's meants.

Nick - Yeah... I guess you are right.

have the meats 

A more cultured way of saying that a business (usually a chain) carries products of good quality under the category they specialize in. Taken from fast food chain Arby’s slogan: “we have the meats”. Can also be “had” or “has” depending on sentence being in past, present, or future tense.
“Don’t get me a gift card to Home Depot. Get me one to Lowe’s instead, because Lowe’s has the meats.”

“I think we can all agree that Arby’s does NOT have the meats, unless we’re talking about their roast beef.”

Blockbuster had the meats back in the day. It’s really sad that they closed down.”
