  Anal retentive - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
The term anal retentive (or anally retentive) is one of a variety of examples of Freudian terminology which have found their way into common usage with a slight shift in the original meaning.
In common usage, the phrases "anally retentive", "anal retentive" or "anal" are used to describe a certain style of behaviour, and it is implied that this is due to a person clenching their anal sphincter, causing retention of feces (although this is not necessarily literally the case, or even intended literally).
A person characterized as anal retentive is perceived as worrying excessively about "passing feces": little details of fecal consistancy, color and aroma; or as otherwise being overly uptight or distressed over ordinarily normal evacuation.
