What does this mean?

[don1]

Twice now in as many weeks I have heard (in TV programmes) someone referred to as being "anal retentive"

What does this mean?

[Panic Button]

Squeeze your buttocks. Hard. Hold it.

Do you feel humorous like that?

[shaneystar2]

It's a psychological term for someone who Indicates personality traits, such as meticulousness, avarice, and obstinacy, originating in habits, attitudes, or values associated with infantile pleasure in retention of faeces.Or as PB says ..holding it in !

Thank you shaneystar for that full answer

[matt_london]

I thought it's origins were based around children who would play with their faeces?
