Quote:
"You remember I said before that Ackley was a slob in his personal habits? Well, so was Stradlater, but in a different way. Stradlater was more of a secret slob."

I think that Holden thinks that everyone but himself is a slob. They may not seem like a slob, but to Holden, they are a slob in their own way. Holden, doesn't seem to see anyone as perfect, or even kind of perfect. He doesn't hold anyone very highly. It is a little cool because he really doesn't care what is "in" and he does what ever he likes. He always seems to be criticizing someone when ever he tells you something.
