The condition or quality of being squalid; shameful dirt and filth, sloppy mess. The action of creating trash and mess. Also, unprotected sex, frequently degrading or disgusting in nature.

Found extensively on college campuses, especially in the Greek community. Originated at Northeastern University, where high concentrations of squalor can be found, especially in the Mission Hill area.

Characteristics of a squalorous lifestyle include daydrinking, broiling steak after midnight, polyamory, throwing trash into the street, punching holes in walls, telling complaining neighbors to fuck themselves and having no respect for the well-being of others, generally flouting societal norms and taking no responsibility for one's actions.

A noun, a verb, an adjective, and a way of life.
1."I'm sick of cleaning your fucking beer cans and squalor! Time to pick up the house like a civilized human being!"
2."Don't take her home tonight, I heard she squalored the entire hockey team."
3."How long have I been asleep? Where’s my wallet? Is this maple syrup in my hair? And who emptied all these whiskey bottles? Ugh, squalor always wins."

Squalor is the excrement of a large or soon to be large animal, including dung, poop, ass cheese, ish, bum bum drop, or piss stain. It can also be the excrement of a human, but only in a humorous way.
Or being of the utmost worthlessness, as in not even worth a canadians life.

squalor hole 

An apartment, condo, flat or house that is kept in a perpetual state of dissarray. Shit lying everywhere, crap on every horizontal surface, dirty bathrooms and towels. Never cleaned with a mop or bleach, just occasionally vaccuumed for decorum's sake. Basically, a complete shithole of a liveable space. Often found in Baltimore, MD, USA
I had to quit being roomates with my friend because he kept the place like a complete squalor hole.

Squalor Folk 

Rock/rap band from the Philadelphia suburb of Upper Darby. An ethnic group, consisting of 4 black guys, and a Puerto Rican/Indian(yes hes 1/2 and 1/2). Band members play multiple instruments, with original songs such as "Serenity", and "Eazy Mellow". Using a combination of sounds, Squalor Folk has a sound like Killswitch Engage but with a Hip-Hop twist.
"Yo, that Squalor Folk show is coming up soon, you hittin that jawn up?"

"I heard Squalor Folk was performing at Upper Darby High's talent show. They probably will tear it up."

Squalor Flavor 

An acquired taste of shittiness, primarily in the fast food realm. Similar to the taste of umami, but instead of rich sumptuous flavors there's an underlying hatred of the minimum wage job, the food chain, and your desperation as the customer... and a lotta grease. It's the part of a White Castles or an Arby's sandwich that you can't define, but elevates it to euphoric nostalgia of a simpler time in your life.
The breakfast burritos at Sonic are good in a squalor flavor kinda way. The individual ingredients themselves are shitty, but together there's nothing else like it.
