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.
Being obsessed with snortingpowdered drugs up your (or my) nose, or snorting anything up your nose to get high
crush out powder. cut into lines, find circular tubes or roll up $50 or $100 dollar bills. Place tube/bill into nose bend down and inhale railed powder thru tube into nose. But don't forget the drip. Ah...my nasal fixation has been satisfied.
A psychological condition first theorized by SigmondFreud resulting when a person needs perpetual simulation with their mouth. This is manifested from the oral stage of development, from birth-18 months, when breastfeeding occurs.
If a baby is weened either too early or too late in development, it's thought he will develop an oral fixation. This may contribute to behaviors involving the mouth such as smoking, alcholism, over-eating, talking too much, or having an abrassive or "biting" personality.

Wilma - Gary, I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't try to tell me how to raise my children. Regardless, I'm sure he'll grow out of it by the time he turns 7.
When you are obsessed with somebody or you are concentrating like crazy on them. This is not always good, though, as you might not be able to be with the person, or they might not like you in the same way.
Jane has a fixation on Johnny Depp. It's a shame, because she will never see him.
