Subject: Re: Streak



Having been recently graduated when the first streakers were exposed here

in Georgia, I wasn't there at the event(s); however, from my understanding,

the term derived from the rapidity of movement of said bare ones. Unlike

strippers whose purpose is slow removal of garments, streakers are

"pre-buffed" and zip quickly past their intended audience, streaking by.

Avoidance of arrest seemed to be the primary motivation, though perhaps the

speed and tendency of viewers to focus on "forbidden" body parts gave the

undressed hopes of remaining incognito.
