Nude Pictures... - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Anybody here ever see a "nude picture?"

What does one look like?

Auntphil and I were watching the news this morning when one of the talking heads came on and said the Florida police had arrested some teacher and coach at a local middle-school for having nude pictures of little boys on his computer. We looked at each other and simultaneously asked, "What does a 'nude picture' look like?"

Auntphil and I are not prudes; we have seen pictures of naked people before and, dare i say, we have seen each other naked. However, we have never seen naked, nude, or whatever pictures of anybody.

So, I ask you, has anyone seen a "nude picture," and, what does one look like?

Maybe it's something like this: http://www.cartoonstock.com/lowres/twa0193l.jpg

Nude photographer?

Ourcrazymodern? · 03-15-2007, 02:04 PM

I don't understand the question at all.

uncle phil · 03-15-2007, 02:44 PM

duh...nude pictures of people or pictures of nude people...

Angel · 03-15-2007, 02:59 PM

Well, nude is the equivelant of naked or bare so to speak. So if the picture itself is nude, then wouldn't it basically be nothing? Hmmm I dare say you have a twister of a question here Unc! And I can't say I have ever seen a nude picture. But I've seen many, many pictures of nudes!

or nude people in pictures or people holding pictures of nude people or picturing pictures of nude people while asleep or assimillating nonsense on the fly or using the keyboard in the nude or...DUH!!!!

Would a blank screen comprise it?

on a serious note, i have a BIG problem with newscasters, talking heads, whatever they need to be called, abusing the language that we are trying to teach our children. i hear this crap all the time and, every once in a while, they come up with something that really jacks my jaws. are pedophiles just looking at nude pictures? i really wonder what they look like. my mother took pictures of me and my sister in a laundry tub full of water in the back yard when we were 3 and 5 years old. we weren't wearing any clothes. was that a nude picture, or a picture of two nude children?

how complicated is this?

Brewmaniac · 03-16-2007, 05:54 AM

I wonder too uncle phil, if I had a file of those cute washtub, kitchen sink photos on my pc or photo album, I actually do have some of our daughter. But if I had 100's would that make me a pedophile in today's way of thinking?

If you work for an institution with liability concerns or a nervous public stake, you betcha.

Apparently for news writers, it's pretty damned complicated. Almost every day, reading the paper, I find a head scratcher. And this past week, Nascar.com had a headline that stated: American Idol Hicks to Sing at Kentucky. Now, why are they insulting the AI folks? Oh....they mean Taylor Hicks would be singing....

KellyC · 03-16-2007, 08:15 AM

Nude picture....that would be a picture without a frame.

MSD · 03-17-2007, 08:35 AM

Sometimes incorrect grammar is so prevalent that it makes its way into common usage. "Nude photos" is a lot easier to say than "Photos of naked people."

uncle phil · 03-17-2007, 12:13 PM

then we are truly going to hell in a handbasket...

Reese · 03-19-2007, 06:09 PM

A picture with nothing on... sounds like a blank canvas to me.

Sweetpea · 03-19-2007, 07:26 PM

If you wanted a serious answer to the question.... to me, a nude picture is anything that shows the body without clothes or in 'undergarments', the key point would be that it shows the sexualized parts of a man or woman.

my avatar is a nude image, I have a thong on, but technically, it's showing bare ass... hence.. i would consider it nude.

I think one might get a lot of definitions on that question.

It may be against the forum rules and I may get smacked with a warning from a mod, but let me say I normally don't like that type of thong but I find the subject of that avatar exceptional.

I have nothing else to add to this conversation please accept my apologies in advance and return to your normally scheduled posting.

I wouldn't consider it nude, as nude refers to naked and you DO have an item on, albeit very small

nice ass by the way

I don't think anyone would appreciate a picture of my hairy ass on my avatar

Not at all. If it reaches common usage and everyone understands its meaning (even if they're pretending otherwise to make a point about proper grammar

) then language perfectly serves its purpose.

It really doesn't matter how you say it. It matters that people understand. And "nude pictures" is something pretty much everyone understands, don't you think?

I'm gonna go with paulskinback here. Grammar nazi!
