알몸, 맨몸

알몸, 맨몸, 나체, 裸體, 아무것도 없는 상태
naked, nude, stark naked, in the buff, wearing your birthday suit, nudey, nakey,

however you say it, it makes you giggle. Looking at one of the definitions can be kind of productive. 맨 can be attached to many other words to create other expressions.

맨몸 naked body
맨손 bare hands
맨발 bare feet
맨얼굴 no makeup, fresh faced
생얼 fresh faced (more common slang for 맨얼굴)
맨팔 bare arms
맨다리 no panty hose

Just don't get carried away and start thinking that 맨날 means "naked day".
