Questions, Questions

I received a lovely little cheer-up card from a friend of mine the other day. Two old ladies in glasses, flowered dresses and hats. Sweet, really.

I opened it up and there was the burning, unanswered question: is it "butt naked" or "buck naked"? I can only give my typical information architect's answer -- it depends. Is the answer contingent upon:

a> context
b> social culture
c> history
d> combination of above
e> none of the above

What say you?

Personally, I would go with "butt," but this being the land of the Bronco (and other SUV's), I often hear "buck" as well. So, I guess it depends on whether I'm feeling Texan or not...

I could go either way. I've heard butt naked and buck naked come from the mouths of all my friends. Although there is a song about being "Buck Naked" that's really very fun, I think the name of the band is "Bill the Cat" It makes me want ot just go with "buck naked" cuz that's how the song goes...

I am for Buck personally, Butt just does not have the same ring to it! ~ Caryn
