Jak to nie ma kontekstu? Zawsze jest kontekst!
Nie zawsze. Już wyjaśniam.
Jest to tzw. linguistic screening nazw produktów;
jedna z nazw jako żywo przypomina to słowo. Jak oddać po angielsku jego najbardziej negatywne zabarwienie? Mam jakieś tak pomysły, ale mam nadzieję, że Wy macie lepsze

How do you cope living with a slob?
My roomate is such a slob and it's getting to the point where I do not want to come home. I've found everything from dirty tampons on the carpet, on top of the bathroom sink, hair all over the place and when I ask if she could simply clean up after herself she becomes offended.

Urban Dictionary: slob
You will find rotten food in the refridgerator, mold in the bathroom, and dirty clothes scattered about on ... He is such a slob, I just can't understand his lifestyle.

Is there a single word describing someone who is impossible to live with because of their bad manners?
A great word for a habitually messy person is a sloven.
