buck-naked
Wearing absolutely nothing
Buck-naked means completely nude, without any clothing whatsoever.
The intensifier *buck* adds emphasis to naked, though its origin is unclear.
The term is informal and often humorous: The kids ran buck-naked through the sprinklers.
Sometimes spelled *butt-naked*, a variant that makes intuitive sense even if it came later.
