I almost missed my flight getting stuck behind this meanderthal who was mesmerized by the moving sidewalk.

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.

The word meanderthal is a portmanteau of meander and neanderthal to describe a driving behavior.
A meanderthal (as a close cousin of the passhole) is a driver whose rate of speed is slower than the actual rate (not necessarily the legal speed) of the traffic for the lane they are in (e.g. in an HOV lane that is going slower than non-HOV traffic to the right). The driver may even change lanes without additional speed, nor showing intention to pass another vehicle (e.g. in the middle lane of three lane highway going slower than traffic in that lane, and the right adjacent one). The driver is either using a cell phone, is from a stereotypical "nervous" driving group, or (worst case) intentionally being a jerk.
This lack of forethought, awareness, and consideration for other drivers causes disruption, and occasional road rage, creating a danger to themselves and other drivers.

"Damn! Everyone is passing us by because of that @#$% meanderthal in front of us!"
"Another friggin' meanderthal is LOST in the HOV lane again!"

Noun. A driver on the highway who just kind of meanders around like they're lost, unable to choose a lane or a steady speed.
