anally retentive


stoid, fixed in own ways, unchanging, perfectionist.
he has to do everything ‘just so’ – he is so -n-lly retentive!
uptight, stubborn.

usage note: you might like to think you’re ascribing some sort of diagnosis to a person when you describe him as “-n-lly retentive”, but it doesn’t mean anything in a psychiatric sense. it sounds professional, but it’s merely a disguised way to insult someone.
“bob’s always been that nitpicky. i think he’s -n-lly retentive.”
although the original freudian idea of the evolution of the character through various stages like the “-n-l 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 -ss-. for this, “-n-lly retentive” (or simply “-n-l”) will serve as well as anything.
he’s so -n-lly retentive only dogs can hear him fart.
a phrase used by slackers when they feel inferior to you.
oh, you think my work ain’t good enough for you, your just -n-lly retentive
unforthcoming, nervous. a lack of self confidence.
