meanderthal

One who has difficulty determining their next course of action in traffic (sometimes going 10-20mph top speed), and, as a result, is not predictable and does not use their turn signal.

Oh my God. We're going to be late AGAIN. This guy in front of me's a fucking meanderthal.

meanderthal

An old person who walks at an extremely slow pace. (This word is a combination of "meander" which means to walk slowly with no apparent destination, and "neanderthal" which refers to something old, ancient or prehistoric.)

I watched as the meanderthal across the street gradually made his way to the car.

meanderthal

Conversationalist that wanders from one subject to another with no apparent point, never reaching the end of the story.

Sorry I'm late for lunch, I got stuck in a cubicle listening to an unending stream of bullshit. I just couldn't break loose from that meanderthal.

meanderthal

The word basically describes a weirdfunky sort of 'non-linear' and integral approach in day-to-day routine; much gets accomplished overall, though in what would appear to the outside (non-meanderthal) observer as a randomly chaotic, somewhat disjointed fashion. The great productivity achieved thru this process by its skilled practitioners may often seem antithetical to the methodology of it

The meanderthal fashion of his workday always astounds his colleagues with how much he manages to get done with it.

meanderthal

Someone old enough, but still insufficiently intellectually developed to know that the universe does not revolve around them. This person believes that everything is all about THEM, they fail to take responsibility for themselves, their errors, and the way other people respond to their sometimes painfully self-centered behavior and thinking.

Paul: Hey, Chelsea, give me that piece of pie.
Chelsea: But Dad, this is the last piece.
Paul: Go in and get yourself something else then.
Paul takes pie away from his daugher, she slumps back into the house.
Bek: (Aside to Kathryn) Paul is such a meanderthal - that poor kid loves banana cream pie!

Meanderthal

The condition demonstrated by one having one's head down, focused solely one one's cell phone screen while walking, invariably at a slow, dazed pace on a random, haphazard course. Often accompanied by mouth breathing. The condition is non-gender specific.

Terry's meanderthal wanderings have been responsible for multiple cases of other pedestrians having to suddenly change course to avoid collisions, and more than one or two rear-end collisions as Terry aimlessly stepped into traffic without warning, oblivious to the rest of the world.
