It means that one's looks doesn't conform to the society's definition of pretty or attractive and even average-looking.

Person 1: Wow! Your neighbors, the husband and wife pair, sure are ugly.
Person 2: Yes, they are. And, guess what? The walls are so thin in this place that I heard them having sex last night.
Person 1: Ugh! The sound of "uglies bumpin' uglies" brings terrible images to mind. Awful!

Rude, mean, exhibiting poor manners. This definition is old school. It was often used by older folks correcting children who are, well, being ugly. This definition hasn't anything to do with one's physical appearance. However it can be used more generally, like talking about a person who cussed you out, talking ugly to you. Another example is when you have to tell something the ugly truth, like saying " I don't mean to be ugly but..."
Then there's of the definition of not being considered aesthetically appealing, repulsive
Redd Foxx came up with all kinds of jokes on Sanford and Son, his character Fred Sanford firing off incessant remarks about Esther, being ugly. It has become a staple, especially in African American humour in TV and movies, for example Madea's brother Joe talking about a battery acid chemical peal to scrub all that ugly off her face.

Don't hit your sister, brother, etc. That's ugly.
I don't mean to be ugly, but you shouldn't be ugly towards people like that
God don't like ugly (in the sense of not treating others right)
Redd Foxx: Vengeance is mine, and ugly is yours.
