butt naked

Wearing absolutely nothing

Butt naked means completely nude, without any clothing whatsoever.

It's an informal and slightly vulgar intensification of naked, emphasizing total exposure.

The variant buck naked has the same meaning and may actually be the original form, though butt naked has become equally common, perhaps because the connection to buttocks makes the vulgarity more explicit.

He ran butt naked through the backyard when the fire alarm went off.
