I got into trouble for saying the word "ass" in fifth grade. I didn't know the teacher was right behind me when I said it... LOL

Tap Dancer,
That's funny -- when I was in the fifth grade, I got in trouble for drawing a picture of somebody's "ass." I got yelled at by the teacher. The girl who snitched on me to the teacher eventually became a politician in town and then died . . . too young.

Later,
Art

Not so bad these days, but in Grammar school in 1961, it was probably horrendous!

I can't imagine Wally saying to Beaver, "I don't think you can even say that to dad."

Naw it wasn’t Jackass they say that in Young Mr. Lincoln in the 30’s. If June didn’t like Wally using flip, ape, flakey and kooky she wouldn’t want to hear ass****.

Let’s not forget when Larry listened to Beaver’s composition about June dancing in dives and was heard saying Go~damn. It got by the censors.

stevea · 06-11-2020, 03:58 PM

Well if he said ja*ka*s that's one thing, but if he said as*h*le I can see Wally saying not to say it to dad.

I never knew about the gd in the beer joints and dives interview. I'm gonna have to pay more attention.

Knowing Beaver's Dirty Word is about as remote as to the location of Mayfield !

merlinjones · 06-11-2020, 10:21 PM

Beaver's name is dirty word!

LOL!

Larry says it under his breath but it’s so obvious by how he mouths it and it’s quiet when he says it. Someone pointed it out recently.

I couldn't believe this at first (it sounded so much like an urban legend) so I checked it out, and it is true! I must admit it was a bit of a shock. What probably happened was, the director instructed the kids to utter spontaneous reactions of surprise, and Rusty just spoke that phrase naturally, without thinking. He says it not like a curse, but just an expression of gleeful surprise, and it is nearly covered up by the other kids' voices. Maybe it's what his parents would have said around the house.

I wonder if they originally wrote it that way? Beaver saying 'damn' or something and the censors pitched a fit about it, and the only way they could do the episode was have the bell ring at the exact same time Beaver said the word?

I would like to see that episode and Ill turn the volume way up and see if I can hear what he said

(Im sure it can be heard)

Just to be clear, most of the thread is about the final episode of season 4, "Substitute Father."

This comment, in response to another post by Scrabjan1, is about the third season episode, "Mother's Day Composition." The class was expressing amazement as Beaver read his made-up composition about June's occupation before she was married.

I got in trouble for saying the word "jackass" at school, didn't even occur to me that would get me in trouble. Teachers need to learn context clue lol
