There is a lady who calls me regular about maintenance of her tree, and when it is grown out really fast she says 'This tree is growing buck wild' makes me laugh every time...

I always thought Buck was early American, and people didn't say Butt back then.

What is the origin of the... naked”?

Buck naked, butt naked

No one knows the exact origins of buck naked, which means completely naked, but the American Heritage Dictionary says it’s from the U.S. South. The earliest example we can find in historical Google News searches (which of course are very limited) is from 1915, and the term gradually becomes more common as the century progresses.

Despite what some sources say, butt naked is not wrong. It’s just a newer form. Even that is disputed, though, as some have conjectured that the buck in buck naked was originally an alteration of butt. Still, the earliest instances of butt naked we can find are from the 80s.

Plus, both buck naked and butt naked are slang terms, and you’re not likely to see either used in earnest in any type of formal text. When it comes to slang terms, colloquialisms, and idioms, questions of right and wrong are irrelevant because these things by definition don’t conform to any so-called standard English. So if you’re going to use buck naked or butt naked, it’s safe to use the one you like better.

On the web, butt naked is more common than buck naked by a ratio of about three to one. In searches covering edited content, though, buck naked is far more common, which suggests that many writers and editors consider it the more acceptable form.

Lets just say butt naked is to be completely naked and Buck naked is porno star George Costanza

imo some people say "naked." while some people say "nekkid." seems there's no difference between buck naked or butt nekkid. they both have the same meaning.

To me that's all the more reason to use the more recent butt naked or as the article suggests, stark naked.
Or.......
Naked as a jaybird

Naked as the day you were born

TBH I use all of them interchangeably but I usually prefer butt naked because it's the funniest IMO.

I just read that and it makes sense. In previous generations butt was a vulgar word. Its not considered so vulgar and distasteful anymore.

This is my fault for starting the thread about the butt naked NFL players caught on camera in the locker room by NFL network.

There really were a lot of butts in that video though.

perhaps that's your interpretation on your side of the world.

however this guy says:

‘Nekkid’ vs. ‘Naked’: Alan Simpson Explains the Difference

“If you’re naked, you don’t have any clothes on, but if you’re nekkid you don’t have any clothes on but you’re up to something.”

Former Sen. Alan Simpson, R-Wyo., explained the distinction in a phone interview with th...ter Monday. The 82-year-old reportedly answered the phone and had to leave for a moment because he said he was “stark nekkid.”

Simpson, up to something? (Tom Williams/CQ Roll Call file photo.)
