Solution for 24 March cryptic crossword clue

With a cry of discovery loudly accuse someone of being a stinker (6)

Solution – Eureka

This clue made me giggle.  Eureka is of course the cry of discovery made by Archimedes when he stepped into a bath and noticed that the level of water rose which led to the theory that the volume of water displaced was equal to the volume of the body part in the water.  It’s the second bit I thought funny.  The word “loudly” is a hint that the solution will sound like “accuse someone of being a stinker” but won’t be spelled like that.  So eureka = You reeker!  Hee hee.
