slobbishness
Messy living habits
Slobbishness is the quality of being a slob—habitually messy, unkempt, or careless about personal appearance and surroundings.
The word emphasizes the trait as a persistent characteristic rather than a momentary lapse: His slobbishness made him a nightmare roommate.
It carries mild contempt but is rarely deeply offensive.
