They way everyone was carrying on, I was thinking it was the "F" word.... but I guess in the 60s a word like "damn" or "sh*t" could get some strong reactions with a kid saying it.

Since Mrs. Brady went on record for saying that she hated hearing it in the 1970's, it's not impossible that Rob and Laura would have cringed at their young son saying 'stinker' in the early 1960's.

I'm thinking it had to be stronger than "stinker" since when Rob was typing it on the typewriter rearranging the letters, Mel sees it and is like, "Rob!! This IS a family show!" I don't think "stinker" would have gotten that reaction lol

I always felt it was something like "bastard" maybe

Maybe it was the same bad word Beaver said !
