正则表达式匹配slug除了特定的开始单词

Question

I need to create a route pattern that match slug but not particular words that consist of only the word or have a trailing slash.

I've tried:

^(?!(admin|blog)).*$

and many various pattern. But still didn't make it.

expected:

admin                //not match
blog                 //not match
blog/                //not match
admin-test           //match
test-admin           //match
blog-and-blogwalking //match
any-slug             //obviously match

I am not quite good in regex things. Hope somebody can help. Thanks.
