Andy's definitions
A desert region of the realm of Vassagonia in the world of Magnamund (Lone Wolf). Largely unpopulated, although there are some small villages and nomad caravans involved in trading across the Dry Main.
So-called because of the almost total lack of rainfall. Survival in the Dry Main depends on the ability to locate oases.
The sand in the Dry Main are "vermilion", whatever that means.

Get the Dry Mainmug. Pikey food is Shish kebab whereas a Chavvy will sick with Donner kebab which makes more mess on pavement.
Always preceeded by the word "large" and followed by "wiv chilly salse". Often pikey will work the calaries off in anticipation by fighting someone while it cooks.

Get the shishmug. When you're biting into a waffle or other baked good whose batter has not been mixed well, and you receive a "blast" of uncooked dry ingredients - including the baking powder used to make it rise.

Get the gusset typingmug. Originally a concept in Freudian psychoanalysis which has later spread into popular use, probably because of its rude connotations.
An anal-fixated person is someone who is excessively tidy and obsessed with neatness, appearance and order. Such people are bureaucratic-minded, petty-minded jobsworths who make other people's lives a misery by creating unnecessary hurdles, and/or who lead a sad life due to their incapacity to set aside their obsession with regularity. It is often used as an insult in cases where people are overly strict or rigid about something.
The origin is that Freud, in his early work, said that young children go through three stages, oral, anal and phallic, before the age of 5, and that successfully traversing each stage is crucial to later psychological wellbeing. (The phallic stage produces the Oedipus Complex or in girls, the Electra Complex and penis envy). If someone fails to traverse a stage, usually because of excessively rigid parenting (though also sometimes through the opposite), they become "fixated" and have unresolved libidinal (i.e. psycho-sexual) issues which overshadow their later lives.
The anal stage occurs around the time a young child is potty-trained, and can include experiencing pleasure from either retaining or releasing shit. The characteristics usually called 'anal-fixated' are those of the anal-retentive, who gained disproportionate enjoyment from holding shit in, possibly because of too-rigid potty training. (An anal-fixated person can also strictly speaking be anal-expulsive, which leads to characteristics such as messiness etc., but this has not passed over into popular use). It expresses itself in later life in neuroses centred on rigidity and regularity.
In popular usage, usually abbreviated to "anal".

My teacher is so damn anal-fixated! She says she'll fail me if I include so much as one word over the word-limit.
I'm only late because some anal-fixated shop assistant decided my credit card signature needed going over with a fine tooth-comb.
