Buck Naked was George Constanza’s name in Seinfield.

He was also a Porno Star.

He should be "bucked and gagged."

It’s a Southern ‘thing.’

On a related topic, there’s a big difference between being naked and nekkid. Naked is the state of being totally unclothed. Nekkid is when you’re naked and looking to, or already getting into, trouble.

The older term is “buck naked,” first recorded just before World War I. The variant “butt naked” appeared half a century later.

Both versions are widely used, and neither should be considered incorrect. In fact, “butt naked” may be the more popular term today, as we’ll show later. No doubt many people feel, like you, that it makes more sense than “buck naked.”

Most standard dictionaries label the two adjectives “informal,” though a few regard the “butt” version as “slang.”

The Oxford English Dictionary, an etymological dictionary based on historical evidence, labels them “colloquial,” meaning they’re more likely to be found in common speech than in formal English.

The dictionary gives them nearly identical definitions: “buck naked” is “completely without clothing; stark naked,” and “butt naked” is “completely naked, stark naked.” It says the two terms originated and are chiefly used in North America.

Buck naked is a racist term. Europeans used it to refer to naked or nearly baked Indians and Africans who used animal skin(buck deer) to cover
