anal-fixated
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.

nolsie
A member of Labour Students. Sometimes, but not always, a term of abuse. Widely used by student activists.
It came about a while ago, when Labour Students was officially called National Organisation of Labour Students (NOLS) - hence "nolsie". The name has vanished but the nickname hasn't.

The nolsies have all got their tongues up Tony Blair's arse.
Don't vote for him, he's a frigging nolsie.
Me? No, I can't support your campaign, I'm a nolsie for goodness sake.

anal crap
What is known by English teachers as an oxymoron, i.e. a word which is qualified by a second word, an adjective, which is completely redundant (adds nothing new to the meaning of the first word). Crap is by definition anal, unless it comes from the mouth-crapping aliens on the planet XAARFQTYSHAJK!LP.
Nevertheless, saying two swear words is always better than saying one for releasing tension, so "anal crap" is perfectly legitimate, whatever those fucking english teachers say.
