Tell him to go for it.

If anyone calls to ask about said intern, be honest that he wasn't very good at his job, had a poor work ethic, and did sloppy work.

Boo,
I think this is bad advice, what you should do is not bash them just not offer anything additional, I know in the HR training I was given this is exactly what I was told, and that any employer worth his salt could read between the lines. They always told me that if you wanted to give a glowing review that was fine, but if he was bad then just the bare essentials. Saves you from potential lawsuits and such.

Most interna I have encountered don’t try very hard and worse, the employer does not try hard either. A lot of people wasting each others time.
