mean ol'

An expression originating from the Central Coast of California, particularly in Chicano jargon. Although similar to the widely-popular term "hella" of Northern California, it is used in descriptions as a replacement for adjectives such as "crazy" or "big" instead of adverbs such as "really" or "very" to emphasize astonishment, jealousy or sarcasm.
