This is one thread I wouldn't mind hijacking. I'd be very surprised if the expression were as young as the 1920s. I'd also be surprised if the expression were "butt-naked." The expression was in common use when I was growing up in the 1940s and I never heard "butt-naked" until perhaps 30-35 years ago. Also, I heard the term expressed as "naked as a buck," Indians being regarded as usually lightly clothed. When I was a kid there was still a lot of prejudice against native americans as well as blacks (at least in north Alabama), and it was common to refer to males as "bucks." When I started to college at Bama in 1957, it confused me to hear other students, from south Alabama, occasionally refer to black males as "bucks." Either way, I think it's hard to torture much meaning out of "butt-naked."
Sweet. Love that bar! Actually I can't wait to get back to Perdido Key. Lucky SOB to live there! :thumb:

How many fans would actually show up if they couldn't wear their cut off blue jean shorts and their wife beater t-shirts?
