For some reason this morning, I woke up thinking about my old seventh-grade art teacher, Mr. Greer at Farrer Jr. High, who was famous for his "Nude vs. Naked" lecture.
Mr. Greer looked like he could be a stunt double for Jacob Marley. Or even for Scrooge himself, not counting the George C. Scott version of "A Christmas Carol." He was thin and hunched with a skull sparsely populated by random hairs. He wore a painter's coat over his clothes with paintbrushes sticking out of his pockets, and it was apparent that by that time in his career he genuinely disliked kids.
Still, we'd all heard about his "Nude vs. Naked" lecture and were eager to hear it for ourselves. Also, I should point out here that when he said "Naked," it sounded like "Neked." So yeah. Bring on the "Nude vs. Neked" lecture, we all said.
Because this was titillating stuff in the late sixties before stuff like the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show hit network TV for all of us to see. And see and see and see.
Good stuff, right?
And here is the difference, in case you want to know. Nude is art. Naked is pornography. Or regular unglamorous people just crawling into the shower each morning.
(I made up that last distinction, actually. Because I just got out of the shower myself.)

That's why it's called a nude beach, not a naked beach. "Naked" conjures up bad images, like the "bad naked" episode of Seinfeld.
Hahaha. By the time I got to Farrer, Mr. Greer had left. Our art teacher did not talk about such things. We mostly sketched apples and glued shapes together.
People tend to discuss subjects of interest to them, daily occurrences or events they have experienced. Is your friend bringing up pornography often in idle conversation? Such talk between friends is normal, but note how often the individual talks about it. Does it seem like that is the only thing he or she has to discuss?
