A person who will thoughtlessly jaywalk into approaching traffic. A meanderthal is confident that any car speeding towards them will avoid them and that no driver has ever taken his or her eyes off the road for a second so it's totally safe to stop cars by throwing your body out in front of them.
Don't take Danforth Ave., the streets full of meanderthals.

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!

Similar to a modern day neanderthal.. this is an individual who is not only ignorant, abusive and always willing to spout hateful words to those who are smarter, but has the added bonus of being able to meander freely throughout the planet spreading their ignorance.
I wanted to get away from the local idiots but unfortunately no matter where I went, I was surrounded by meanderthals. There should be a law against that.

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!"

Look at that guy. Going 45 in the left lane. He's such a meanderthal.
