<<What would be a more derogatory...? Suggestions for a new word?>>
What's the opposite of retentive. Append it to 'anal' and you've got the term you're looking for. Almost: you're looking for the shortened version, like "anal," for "anally-retentive." So, now that you've got your new term, all you've got to do is lop off the appended term and you're through -- the opposite of "anal" is "anal."

Well, well, well, aren't we all a bunch of busybodies? Did it occur to any of you name-callers to ask the group in question what they would like to be called? I did. My friend Betty Prim, whose house is always immaculate, said this...Why must we be called anything?___ (25 letters) Organized people are the norm._____ (25 letters) Just because I like exact order,_____ (25 letters) Does not mean that I am crazy or____(25 letters) See. Perfect. 25 words and 100 letters. Even. Done. Uh yes.Thank you Betty.
Now let's ask my friend Hooper about what to properly call those afflicted with the non-freudian non-malady of laid-backness.Man, like, you know, some people call me "moon-eyed" some people call me just plain "lazy". I don't much care 'cause I'm just about as wretched as I want to be anyway. Shoot, I had a friend that was so laid back that even his toes were comatose. But you know what, I don't much like being called anal-expulsive. Not so much because the thought is so unpleasant that it hurts my brain, but mainly because the concepts "anal-retentive" and "anal-rejection" are no longer hip. One might even say that they are out of the vogue and are now passe. Later Dude. -  Uh, thanks Hoop, go back to sleep.

I'm surprised--in my very curosry, quick reading of this thread--that nobody's mentioned slothful, n. form sloth.
Interesting to note that "sloth" is one of the seven deadly sincs, but anal-rententiveness is not.
Compulsive behavior is interesting, but there are folks for whom compulsiveness really becomes pitiful behavior. I heard once of such a person who reorganized already completely organized objects late into the night. She would do so until 5:00 a.m., and, finally, fall exhausted into bed. I can't remember all the stories a relative of hers told me, but, upon hearing them, I realized that there's a big difference between being somewhat compulsive in habits about order and going way over the line so that order becomes a tyrant.
Tending myself toward compulsive slothfulness,
WW

the opposite of "anal" is "anal"Impeccably argued, sirrah  Mind you, given that the extra word is dropped for anally-retentive, perhaps it should be added in the opposite case, thus: anally-expulsive-expulsiveBut if you expel the expulsive, you are left only with the retentive, thus: anally-retentiveHmmm. Talk about vanishing up your own <ahem!>.

From a trivia quiz: 13. Of whom was Lincoln speaking when he said that he had....THE SLOWS?
I can't remember which general it was. Apparently "the slows" referred to some type of
inherited neurologic disorder. Who among us knows the answer?
