I actually had to look up the non-animal meaning; is this a north american term? I'd never heard of it before.

  Have you not been consuming any American pop-culture for the last 15 years? :) I recall an episode of the Late Show with Letterman, where Letterman would call up people living in a small town Eager Beaver Creek (or something like that) and ask them all sorts of questions.

    Have you not been consuming any American pop-culture for the last 15 years? :) It's worth noting that although American entertainment is consumed all over the world, the acting is often overdubbed in the local language. Hence it's not possible for a Frenchman to learn colloquial English by watching "American Pie" -- presumably beaver references are translated to something more appropriate than "le castor" ;)
