Slovenly, foul (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

squalid

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'slovenly' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'foul' is the second definition.
(both can mean disgusting)

(Other definitions for squalid that I've seen before include "Seamy, sleazy" , "Run-down - filthy" , "Foul" , "Dirty and repulsive" , "Slum-like" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
