Not sure if you're messing with me, but Beaver Cleaver is the name of a famous sitcom character. Awesome show IMO, you can watch the entire series for free on archive.org

TIL. That said, I'm sure if you polled most folks these days, beaver would mean animal or women's genitalia, and not leave it to beaver.

Given the relatively common crass meaning for beaver, beaver cleaver sure sounds like a sexual innuendo to me.

I wasn't -- I was not aware that his last name was Cleaver, haha.
