Idiom
Informal

used to refer to someone who is not covered with any clothing

What is the origin of the idiom "in the raw" and when to use it?

The phrase "in the raw" originated from the world of food, where "raw" means uncooked or not processed. However, it has also come to describe someone who is completely naked, without any clothes. This metaphorical extension likely comes from the idea that, just as uncooked food is in its natural state, a person without clothes is in their natural form. The phrase conveys the idea of being in a state of complete undress and emphasizes the absence of clothing. It can be used in a variety of contexts, including playful or light-hearted conversations, comedic situations, or in creative writing. However, it is essential to be aware of the potential sensitivity and appropriateness when using this expression, as nudity is a topic that may require tact and consideration.

What is the origin of the idiom "so help me" and when to use it?

Over time, it has become a conventional expression in various solemn affirmations and pledges, both within and outside legal settings.
