Slovenliness is the state of being : messy, , and careless about how you look or how you do a job. It is a noun, and a slightly old, judging word. It points to clothes left , a room left dirty, work done in a slapdash way — not taking care. Dictionaries sometimes fold “lazy” into it, and there is a grain of truth: the person often cannot be bothered. Though actually, the centre of the word is mess and , not sitting still. That other idea — idle, not wanting to move — is , a different family. You will meet slovenliness in writing more than in speech; in talk, people say messiness, or just “he’s so .” It has no link to or . Those only look nearby.
邋遢、不修邊幅(名詞;指髒亂馬虎,不是單純的懶)
