In one's birthday suit
Answer:
BARE
Hint:
Without any clothing, you might feel exposed or completely uncovered.
Explanation:
"In one's birthday suit" is a playful idiom meaning naked or without clothes. The phrase humorously suggests someone is wearing only what they had on when they were born—nothing at all. The answer "BARE" fits because it directly means uncovered or nude, matching the clue’s lighthearted take on being completely undressed.
