名詞: n.
走在前面擋住去路的人。
這個字是由 meander (漫步) 和 Neanderthal (尼安德塔人 — 生活在距今 12 萬至 13 萬年前冰河時期的原始人) 拼綴而成。

To meander means to walk slowly, without any clear direction and a Neanderthal, spelt with N for November, was a kind of primitive person who lived in Europe a hundred thousand years ago – something like a caveman perhaps. So when we call someone a meanderthal, we’re combining these two words, meander and Neanderthal. And we’re actually being very rude. We’re saying that the person in front who is slowing us down is stupid, they haven’t evolved, that they don’t know what they’re doing or where they’re going.
—Mark Shea, “Meanderthal,” BBC, December 1, 2009
