Anybody remember the joke about the guy who got expelled from the nudist colony because when playing leapfrog he balked. Repeatedly.

modestgoddess (member) Wed Apr 3 12:26:39 2002 Which reminds me.....the modelling discussion board, to which I also belong, has a very interesting (and veeeeery looooong) thread about male models getting an erection while posing.
This is really over the top, and totally inappropriate for this board. I wasn't going to dignify this thread with any sort of comment, but this has gone too far.

AnnaStrophic: do you mean the entire thread? I thought the basic issue--which has, admittedly, suffered a digression from the linguistic to the, um, anatomical -- was a legitimate question. Two words (nude and naked) that seem to denote the same condition but have slightly different connotations were discussed.

Yes, Alex, as Jackie noted elsewhere, the question itself is interesting and legitimate. I was referring in particular to the post I quoted. That's all I gots to say on the subject.

As has been said on this board before, "Men are so sensitive about their anatomy."

Well clearly the only proper thing to do is to bring back the nudity. How many terms/synonyms/expressions can you come up with nudity? Let's see...
Naked as a jaybird In ones birthday suit au naturale
Personally, I am opposed to nudity. If God had intended for us to around unclothed then we would have been born that way!

Dear Keiva: you remind me of the words of urologist who was teaching us how to catheterize a male patient, a procedure which is one of the ultimate indignities a man can endure. Fraught with fear and frequently with pain. " Remember that the patient's penis is as near and dear to him as yours is to you."

dr. bill, you knew my response would be medically limerical, didn't you?
There once was a man with a hernia, Who said to his doctor, "Goll dern ya, When fixing my middle Be sure you don't fiddle With matters that do not concern ya!"

(thanks Uncle Bill!) My apologies - I shoulda known it would be too much to introduce that link to a group that doubtless includes people too anal to be able to deal with nude modelling at all.....It is actually a fascinating discussion - but maybe only for those of us (male OR female) who are comfortable with our bodies. (Nevertheless, I have had a PM from someone who intends to check it out, so it certainly wasn't posted in vain. Someone was interested, so there!  ) The naked/nude debate, I'm enjoying enormously. More, more! (there was a naked/nude debate on the models's discussion board, and interestingly enough, though none of them are linguaphiles, they all had a lot more to say about the dichotomy, and they said it a lot more eloquently. But perhaps that's just because it's a subject that's closer to their hearts than it is to anyone's here, and they obviously think about it a lot more - spending so much time nude as they do. I'd post a link to that excellent thread but now I is tremblin' in me boots.) For the list of naked/nude words/expressions: in the buff naked as the day I was born without a stitch on
