In Sling Blade (1996), Karl speaks about drunken Doyle:

Karl: That feller's a whole site meaner than me.

What does "whole site" mean?

Best Answer

I think either you or the author has misspelled sight:
Merriam-Webster sight

noun a : chiefly dialectal
a : a great number or quantity
b : a good deal : lot
a far sight better, not by a damn sight

AHD sight

Idioms: a sight (Upper Southern US)
A lot; much:
We're a sight better off without him.

[emphasis added]

So, your example should be spelled a whole sight meaner, and it means much meaner.
