deckardcanineOK, folks, how do you define nudity? I ask because in the last few months, I've become aware of many uses broader than my own. By default I think of a "nude" wearing nothing at all. In a pinch, you might persuade me to ignore a G-string and pasties or whatnot -- maybe even apply it to the indecent exposure of a single private part. But yesterday I saw it applied repeatedly to He-Man, who regularly covers more than the average American male beach goer.
What gives? Are people too lazy for that level of verbal nuance? Do pervs and/or prudes like to pretend that meager clothing equals none? Or have I gotten it wrong all along?
