Folk etymology[edit]
This is a folk etymology well known among linguists, of the type that has recently come to be called an "eggcorn". I've added a link to the appropriate entry in the eggcorn database. --Thnidu 02:54, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
no mention of original phrase[edit]
"butt naked" is actually a bastardization of the original phrase, "buck naked"
- Whereas we list buck naked as a bowdlerization of butt naked. I think you are correct, but we need sources.(mercurywoodrose)99.101.137.13 21:15, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
