In psychology-related slang, control freak is a derogatory term for a person who attempts to dictate how everything around them is done. The phrase was first used in the late 1960s — an era when great stress was laid on the principle of 'doing one's own thing' and letting others do the same.

Famous quotes containing the words control and/or freak:

    Culture means control over nature.
    Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)

    A freak but moist flower
    tangles my lungs, knits into my heart,
    crawls up my throat
    and sucks like octopi on my tongue.
    You planted it happily last summer
    and I let it take root with my moon-hope....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
