Default Re: Butt Naked or Buck Naked?

[ QUOTE ]
It should be noted that there is a correct answer to this. It's "Buck Naked", and it's thus due to the slave trade days. (*DISCLAIMER* Slavery was awful) Slaves were sold according to perceived worth (strongest, etc. etc.) and they were usually sold naked, hince those slaves sold for a dollar were called "Buck Naked" in common speech.

Until just now Buck Naked didn't make any sense to me, so I always said butt naked.
