Personally, I don't see anything wrong with it. The term slob when used in reference to a deer doesn't mean a dirty, messy disgusting creature. It mean a huge, nice, brute of a deer. If we are gonna start getting pickey about something like this then there are a ton of terms we need to stop using in our everyday life. Don't call someone "big as an Ox" They are four legged grazing cattle who's only use is to haul equipment. "smart as a whip" needs to be banned as well. I know I don't want to be called a piece of torture equipment. And lets not even think about "quiet as a mouse", who knows what kind of arguments that would start. Basically I think people now days tend to try and read too much into everything and complain at the first sign that something may be out of place. If we stopped using the term slob and picked another one I'm sure it wouldn't take but 5 minutes for someone to find that term offensive.
