July 9, 1776 -- Washington orders that the Declaration of Independence be read before the American army in New York -- from his personal copy of the "Dunlap Broadside."
Some copies are called "broadsides", one sheet printings of large documents. When the Congress adopted the final form of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, it went to a printer named Charles Dunlap, who printed several copies which were to be distributed to the states and armies. That copy had only John Hancock and Charles Thomson's (the Secretary of Congress) signatures. After the engrossed version was made and finally signed by most of the delegates another printing was done in another broadside, this time by Mary Katherine Goddard. There are several copies of Dunlap Broadsides and Goddard Broadsides still in existence.
There are three that I'm aware of: 1) mean - rude/unpleasant/unkind, saying words or committing actions that will intentionally hurt (physically, mentally, emotionally, or otherwise) the well-being of another, without reason or need. 2) mean - the definition or explanation of a concept (i.e., "what does that mean?"), or the intention ("what do you mean", "what do you mean to say", "did you mean to do that") 3) mean - an average, such as the "arithmetic mean". You add up the collection of numbers you have to get a total, then divide by the amount of individual numbers you had (for instance, if you have 4 numbers - for example 2, 3, 5, and 6, you add those 4 numbers to get 16, then divide the total by 4 since you had 4 numbers; the average, or "mean" is 4). What do you mean what does mean mean? Are you like, teasing us? Are you being mean? There is much to ponder and always when we ask, it's always the same, we ask in all earnestness, what does it mean? Do you know what I mean? I wonder if the average Joe knows what I mean, not that average Joe's don't ponder and ask what does it mean, I'm just saying that if you take all the average Joe's and look at them as a whole, how many of them do you really think will know what I mean? I mean, let's be honest here, I don't even know what I mean, do you know what I mean? What does mean mean? Ha! What does does do? What is what? Is is an is? What does mean mean, indeed!
The opposite of broadside is narrowside.

Broadside, as a noun, was used as a naval term to mean either all the guns on one side of a warship, or the nearly simultaneous firing of all of these guns (as a naval combat manoever).
To broadside something means to hit it on the side, or to fire at it while it turns sideways. If you broadside someone in a car, it means you hit the side of their car. Broadside has various meanings and verbiage depending on how it is used.
John Dunlop may have invented broadside printing. He printed the first account of George Washington crossing the Delaware in the broadside printing method.

That's one of a number of possible meanings for this word. The root meaning is an explosion.
The collective phrase that includes "broadside" is "broadside ballads." These are a type of popular song or poem printed on a single sheet of paper, often with an illustration, and intended for wide distribution. Broadside ballads were commonly used in the 16th to 19th centuries to convey stories, news, or political commentary.
It is called a 'broadside' when all the guns from fore to aft of a warship are fired simultaneously in one direction.
