You really should of.
It really greats on my nerves when people have problems with homophones.
I have thought that this may have been a term used regarding enslaved African men. And thus, it has morphed into “butt naked” attempting to be sensitive to that possibility (political correctness . . . just in case). It appears that the male deer is what most people are thinking of (not perhaps first on the mind of city folk) – so I’d say I prefer “buck naked” and the latter is just a new use or, as mentioned, an attempt to not offend.
A zombie thread about naked zombies!
While “buck” historically can mean a black man, it has dozens of other meanings. The Historical Dictionary of American Slang lists “buck-bathing” with the derivation “buck (naked) + bathing”. So “buck” by itself can mean naked which seems the obvious derivation of “buck naked”.

My bold.
Yes, this is the origin of the phrase “buck naked,” i.e., standing naked and vulnerable on the auction block (as in “black buck”). Sad, not politically correct, but true.
Citation?

Do you have a cite for this?
All I’ve been able to find online are various unsubstantiated theories as to the origin of the phrase.
It is quite common to see a metal rooster and the four directional letters all in the same vane.
Who ever heard of a vain zombie?
A nekkid rooster?
So the Washington Bucks as a replacement for Washington Redskins is out?
A four time zombie. Wow, any idea if this is a record?
I have seen several different vegetables in the same vegan.
