<br>Subject: "an eager beaver"
<br>
<br>per my intuition only:
<br>
<br>It strikes me that this expression is in less coomon use than years ago .=
<br> =
<br>
<br>Was common when I was a kid, some 30-40 years ago.  Perhaps less popular
<br>because of the vulgar slang sense of beaver.  But still in use.
