Downright mean (5)

I believe the answer is:

nasty

'downright mean' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for nasty that I've seen before include "Filthy" , "Evil" , "Beastly" , "Awful" , "Not nice" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.com, the Newsday, the Universal and the USA Today.
