research? did someone mention research??

bare-naked: 1,190,000 google hits
buck-naked: 358,000 gh
butt-naked: 1,210,000 gh

I am astonished by these numbers. I am flabbergasted that AHD4 suggests that butt-naked came before buck-naked. I am gobsmacked by Urban Dictionary's no. 1 def'n: Americanised version of buck naked. Probably arisen from the Yank inability to speak English.

more to come
