Help me, Jeebus

I KNOW this is not the worst writing offense out there. But I have seen it so many, many times of late that I just feel I MUST say...

The expression is NOT "butt naked." The expression is "buck naked."

Also, on a related note, just in case you ever heard it wrong, the expression is NOT "nip it in the butt." The expression is "nip it in the bud."

Thank you.

Well first of all, Melayneseahawk, I love that icon!

Good Public Service Announcement. Although, I'm sure there are many around here who'd rather nip someone something in the "butt" than in the "bud".
:-)
Settle this for me, please.
You have another "thing" coming, right?

[muck-a-luck.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm. That one, I can't resolve for you. I think it is another "thing" coming, but I can't assert that with confidence. If someone asked me, that's what I would tell them. Someone, in this case being you, I suppose!

Loving your icon, too! :)

My cellmate says it is DEFINTELY "thing."

I'm happy to believe cellmate. Give a sloppy kiss from me, please. :-)

"Yes, thank you, yes," she moaned, shuddering. ;-D

Thank you!

Also? It's "for all intents and purposes," NOT "for all intensive purposes."

Oh YES!
Thank you Kalliopeia!
