Goody Two-Shoes (1924)

[Charles Doyle]

Seems to me I still hear (or have heard, or could
hear), "He's a Trivial Pursuit bug"; or "She's a Harry
Potter bug."  Am I archaic?  Idiolectal?  Idiotic?

>"Bug" is a 19th/early 20th century slang term for fan, esp.
sports fans. In this case, it means fight fans, but could be
used more generally.
