    Of course she is! So is my significant other. The jokes are in good fun, naturally. ;-)-

    (However, I still have the opinion that her comment displays an unusually well developed sense of humor, so in my imitation "Scotty" voice from the Star Trek reboot, I'll add this, "I've never beamed three people from two targets onto one pad before!" )

    Hey bud, I'm not attempting to be a teacher or doctor here...I'm only trying to obtain people's opinions. I already know where I stand...where do you stand on the issue? Leave your mark or let it be.

    First 2 things that popped up on that newfangled googly chingasa...

    The first published reference to “buck naked” in the Dictionary of American Regional English is from 1928, while the first citation for “butt naked” comes from a 1966-70 DARE survey.

    On the other hand, both DARE and The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language speculate that “buck naked” may be an alteration of “butt naked,” indicating that “butt” may have come first.

    also


    My research brought me across a few plausible explanations:

    The word "buck" comes from buckskin, which is a deer/horse like animal.

    A slang used by Americans against natives(Indians) for young males who often fought or hunted without clothing.

    It is a Bowlderization of "butt naked" so that it can be used in public without causing unnecessary discomfort. An euphemism of some sort.

    All three explanations seemed equally possible to me and I failed to unearth an authoritative source to confirm any of them.
