OP I recently used the phrase "greedy gus" in a story I wrote set in England. (I am Canadian.) An English reader told me that the phrase was really "greedy guts". Since I had always heard it
as "greedy gus", or probably "Greedy Gus", I tried looking it up, and found both usages in different sources. Is this a difference in British and American language? If so, I find the British
version more logical - and the American version more colourful.
