Can you parse that Donny

[Mamyalynne]

Mean - Base
To cover the interior - Line

[Mamyalynne]

Baseline - an imaginary line or standard by which things are measured or compared; "the established a baseline for the budget"

[donny48]

Late Middle English: from Old French bas, from medieval Latin bassus ‘short’ (found in classical Latin as a cognomen). Early senses included ‘low, short’ and ‘of inferior quality’; from the latter arose a sense ‘low in the social scale’, and hence (mid 16th century) ‘reprehensibly cowardly, selfish, or mean’.
You have beaten me to the rest Mamyxx

Sorry for butting in Donny.

[donny48]

No problem, Mamy. I tend to look for too much detail and am therefore slow to answer.
As you can see from my explanation for mean.
