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.)

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.

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.

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!

A person or group with no permanent location of residence who meander from destination to destination. Origin: Wild Duck Park, Scarborough, Maine. USA. Coined by Roger Rivet after meeting two Austin Texas vagabonds and their pups. (06/2023)
Before sunset the meanderthals wasted no time setting-up camp.
Sporting an Austin Keep It Weird backpack, the meanderathal started hiking up the mountain trail.
The meanderthal unhitched his jeep before parking the RV.
The hot air balloon festival hosted thousands of meanderthals from all around the world.
