buck naked

Wearing absolutely nothing

Buck naked means completely nude, without any clothing at all: He walked out of the bathroom buck naked.

The expression is informal and often humorous, emphasizing total exposure.

The variant butt naked is equally common, likely from reanalysis of the phrase.
