Get the fixcreant mug.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".

Get the fixed-gear mug."Curiosity killed the cat (but satisfaction brought her back)"; for one party to make a "safe haven" for human's natural curiosity to explore all sorts of disgusting, dangerous, devious and distructive things.
Possibly most examplified by television, which allows the viewer to witness and enjoy drama, crime, scandal, murder, sex, and a literal plethora of things they otherwise wouldn't dare enjoy because of social pressures not to "be that guy", laws enforcing the opposite, or general consumer laziness, as well as the unlikelyhood of ever being in that situation.
Because the viewer's natural curiosity is now satisfied, the "cat" of the old saying is "brought back" and can continue to be a normal, upstanding citizen.
