My 99th post: I would like to know people's PERSONAL take on the difference between being naked, and being nude (ie, not what their fave dictionary says, but their own linguistic explanation).

And if anyone is curious enough to know WHY I'm so interested in this, I will make the explanatory post my 100th!

hmmmmm ... could this tie in with your recently-posted interest in Wordpalooza!, and your profile indicating a penchant for skinny-dipping?

I'm trying to concoct a response here that won't make me sound too unangelic!

Okay, I'm dying to go to bed with a MEMBER at last! (it's been soooooo looooong ) Here's the explanation - lessee what people think:

In my profile I list my occupation as "wretched unemployed person" - well, that should really read "wretched UNDERemployed person." I work, sporadically and part-time, as a NUDE MODEL!

TA-DA!

So I'm very curious to find out what people's personal ideas about nude and naked are. Me, I'm nude when I'm working or at a nude beach; the rest of the time if I'm not sporting clothes, I reckon I'm naked. Nude, I feel safe; naked, I feel an element of danger....

Congratulations on your rhabdo-promotion! Tonight you will go to bed with a member to your name.

But remember ... The sensuous modern woman, while she doesn't think the size of a man's orgasm is important, does insist on multiple penises.

To scoop from the newest song thread I would like to borrow from Angel's post and rewrite a little bit of a song:

Might as well face it, you're addicted to AWAD!

(with apologies to Robert Palmer! or whoever wrote the durn song for him!)

A double-promotion???!!!! Is everything rising here?

Congrats, oh heavenly one! In celebration, are your perhaps planning to replace your trusty, never dusty websters with a [drumroll] nud-ictionary?

So I'm very curious to find out what people's personal ideas about nude and naked are. Me, I'm nude when I'm
working or at a nude beach; the rest of the time if I'm not sporting clothes, I reckon I'm naked. Nude, I feel
safe; naked, I feel an element of danger....


Does that mean you were naked when you wrote this and you like to visit AWAD in the nude? Congrats on your membership!

I only use nude to describe a state of undress. Naked can be used, as you said, to emphasise an element of danger or of undress by duress - stripped naked or naked truth.

Nude also has a much warmer sound to it but then again, it is French. Naked? Harsh, menacing. You have to sneer to pronounce it.
