[Idiom] How mean you are

Hi,

What is the meaning of "how mean you are".

Thnks

You are telling someone that they are not nice - they are mean.

Or, in BrE, "mean" can signify being unwilling to spend money.

You are telling someone that they are not nice - they are mean.

I want to convey or respond to someone who is saying how mean you are, that I am not mean, then what should I say....
