Way too uptight

ANAL

Think of a term from psychology that describes someone overly focused on order, control, and perfectionism—often linked to a Freudian stage of development.

"Way too uptight" hints at someone overly rigid or obsessive about details, which is a common slang meaning of "anal." The word also plays on its literal sense (related to the anus) to add a cheeky double meaning, since being "uptight" can humorously suggest tension in that area. It’s a classic crossword trick—using a word’s informal definition while nodding to its more literal one.
