The standard expression is “buck naked,” and the contemporary “butt naked” is an error that will get you laughed at in some circles. However, it might be just as well if the new form were to triumph. Originally a “buck” was a dandy, a pretentious, overdressed show-off of a man. Condescendingly applied in the US to Native Americans and black slaves, it quickly acquired negative connotations. To the historically aware speaker, “buck naked” conjures up stereotypical images of naked “savages” or—worse—slaves laboring naked on plantations. Consider using the alternative expression “stark naked.”

I've gradually shifted from buck naked to butt nekkid over the years. "Stark raving nude" an occasional alternative.

This is a good thread to mention that, when "Centerfold" by J. Geils Band came out in 1981, I was 11 going on 12. I knew what a centerfold was and understood the gist of the song, but when Peter Wolf sang "to see her in that negligee was nearly just too much," I thought he was singing "to see her in that naked jay was nearly just too much." I had no idea what a negligee was, so my brain just filled with the closest thing that made sense. ("Sense")

I prefer "buck" bcz of that flasher on Hill Street Blues.
"Naked as a jaybird" first heard in the Northeast via the novelty hit "The Streak" I think.
