OP Any idea why so many words and phrases referring to a certain rigidity of personality, spring from roots associated with the same area of the human anatomy? I mean, of course:
costive
constipated
anal retentive
rectitude
slightly off-track:
fundamental
plus, of course, the other favoured use:
ers-hole (in Chaucerian spelling)
But it's the first group I am most intrigued about. And no, this is not meant to be a scatological thread.
