Grammer/English Nazis....a moment of your time for my Daily Brainfart.

Naked is to be without clothing. nekkid is to be without clothing online

It is always in this form, I'm guessing, past tense ( if that is what I am looking for) as I have never heard it in it's Nake tense. It's been a long long time since I had to know past, present, whatever and I think I have successfully blotted out those horrid, horrid memories of diagramm/phing a sentance. by The Nuns!


This word has been bothering me for awhile and I was actually surprised to find that Nake is a word. To make naked.


Has anyone ever actually used this word? Read it? Or is it archaic?

Are there any other words out there that are only used in past tense format?
