I believe the answer is:

naughty

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'what any thug might be?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'any thug might be?' is the wordplay.
'might be?' indicates anagramming the letters.
'any'+'thug'='anythug'
'anythug' with letters rearranged gives 'NAUGHTY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for naughty that I've seen before include "Badly behaved, mischievous" , "Risqu" , "Mischievous - improper" , "titillating" , "Dubious" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
