slob 是日常口语中泛指男女的“邋遢鬼”，随便、不正式；sloven 更书面、更正式，且词典义多指男性。日常说话说某人邋遢，几乎都用 slob，很少用 sloven。
两词按性别分工：slattern 只指女性，且带有旧式、明显的贬义色彩；sloven 是与之对应的男性说法。指同一个人时不能互换，说男人邋遢用 sloven，说女人邋遢用 slattern（但现代更常用 slob）。
词性与搭配不同：slovenly 是形容词，描述外表或做事方式，常作定语或表语；sloven 只是名词，指人。想说“他衣着邋遢”应用 He is slovenly，或 He is a sloven，不能说 He is sloven。
