slut
A strongly derogatory and insulting term for a woman who is accused of having a frequently changing sex life that is viewed as immoral.
Er hat sie im Streit auf übelste Weise als Schlampe beschimpft.
During the argument, he insulted her in the worst possible way by calling her a slut.
slob
A colloquial, derogatory term for a person, usually a woman, who is very messy and careless.
Räum endlich dein Zimmer auf, du bist ja eine richtige Schlampe!
Clean up your room already; you're a real slob!
This word is extremely negative and should be handled with great caution. In the first meaning, it is a serious insult directed at a woman. In the second meaning as well, it is a derogatory and hurtful term.
Solche Beleidigungen sind in einer Diskussion absolut inakzeptabel.
Insults like that are absolutely unacceptable in a discussion.
The meaning 'messy person' is closely related to the adjective 'schlampig' (messy/careless), which means 'unordentlich' (messy) or 'nachlässig' (careless). A 'Schlampe' in this sense is therefore a person who is 'schlampig' (messy/careless).
Seine Arbeit ist immer so schlampig und voller Fehler.
His work is always so careless and full of mistakes.
Which of the two negative meanings is intended depends on the context. If it is about messiness, a chaotic room, or careless work, the second meaning is meant. If it is about relationships or sexuality, the first, strongly insulting meaning is meant.
Ihr Schreibtisch ist ein Chaos, sie ist eine totale Schlampe.
Her desk is a mess; she's a total slob.
The noun 'die Schlampe' (slut/slob) is feminine and is used almost exclusively for women. This reinforces the degrading and often misogynistic connotation of the word.
Es ist unfair, eine Frau wegen ihrer Kleidung so zu bezeichnen.
It is unfair to call a woman that because of her clothing.
