Uptight, stubborn.
Usage Note: You might like to think you're ascribing some sort of diagnosis to a person when you describe him as "anally retentive", but it doesn't mean anything in a psychiatric sense. It sounds professional, but it's merely a disguised way to insult someone.

Although the original Freudian idea of the evolution of the character through various stages like the "anal stage", at each of which it was possible to get stuck, has not really stood the test of time, many outside the psychological community feel that it's still worth having a term for those backed-up individuals one occasionally encounters who have an abiding need to stop fussing about something or other and relax, unclench, and *blow it out their ass*. For this, "anally retentive" (or simply "anal") will serve as well as anything.

Anal retention is the process were someone can retain matter in thier anus. This can be liquid, they can then squirt it out like an elephants trunk.
People often attend gym sessions to build up thier anal retentiveness, thus they can hold more liquid.
Greedy people like this as they can jack all the water at a party, or other such gala occasion.(see example)
