slobs

Untidy, careless people

Slobs are people who are messy, lazy, or lacking in personal standards.

The word suggests someone indifferent to cleanliness or appearance: The apartment looked like slobs lived there.

A slob may also be slovenly in habits or manners more broadly: Don't be such a slob—use a napkin.
