When did "buck naked" become "butt naked"? Stupid

Another pet peeve is people who never end a sentence, but uh...Its like they don't want to give you an opening, and uh...

I really hate TV commercial humor, the stuff like "I can't believe I ate the whole thing" or "wassss-UP!" Certain indivduals love to adopt these canned phrases and repeat them as a reasonable substitute for a clever remark, and especially in an office environment these phrases often generate a sort of Pavlovian laugh response. On an episode of The Simpsons, Homer once said " I love to quote laugh-lines from commercials...its not that they are actually funny, but I like the way it make us feel like one big family and we're all in on the joke."
