Is "anal" a bad word?

Is "anal" a bad word?

I'm speaking of the adjective and not the noun.

Re: Is "anal" a bad word?

I was in my bosses office one day discussing issues with a large customer of ours. I said "The real problem is their process engineers- you know engineers, they are all anal retentive" At which point my boss pointed to the wall beside the chair I was sitting in. On that wall was his engineering degree. LOL

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Re: Is "anal" a bad word?

a·nal

[eyn-l]

adjective

1.of, pertaining to, involving, or near the anus.

2.In psychoanalysis:

a. of or pertaining to the second stage of psychosexual development, during which gratification is derived from the retention or expulsion of feces.

b.of or pertaining to an anal character.

c.of or pertaining to gratification derived from stimulation of the anus.

Based on the definition of anal I would say that it is not for polite company, although it is widely used at this point in time... Of course so is the 'f' word.
