apples and dates are the only dried fruit i like.

Have you tried Medjool dates? Gift from the gods!
Looks like it's dried but it isn't and can be eaten "as is." However may also be soaked in lukewarn (tepid) water for 10 minutes or so and it melts in your mouth. Sweeter than candy ... almost better than s** !!!

As to "slovenly" well, if you are still sitting around in your nightgown and bathrobe at noontime that's slovenly, or so my Mother used to tell me. ;)
I think most young people would get the meaning from context even if they had not heard it commonly used. All the people I asked know what it means. However it may not be a word you'd see in a "conversational English"
book, so do let poor hubby off the hook ... after you've collected your $20!!
