Word by word

I recently read Professor and the Madman: A Tale of Murder, Insanity, and the Making of the Oxford English Dictionary.  I love language. I love how authors put words together to create thoughts, emotions, ideas. Call me crazy, but I also love the meaning of words and where they come from. After reading this book, I looked up some phrases with the word "naked" for this blog.

*naked as a jaybird
*buck naked
*stark naked
*naked eye
*naked truth
*naked ape
*butt naked
*in all one's glory
*in the altogether
*in the pink
*with the naked eye

I know, dear readers, that you can think of others. What have I missed?
