Is this idiomatic? Is this the same as a strip tease? --Connel MacKenzie 13:19, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

• Well, like all of Wonderfool's contributions, it is reasonable. In the UK we would "strip off" at the doctors or to change into football gear etc. It seems to mean exactly the same as undress. SemperBlotto 13:59, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Idiomatic but not the same as strip tease. We strip off (intransitive) before having a bath or skinny-dipping. (It's also sometimes used non-idiomatically and transitively for removal of particular items, but usually I use take off for that.) --Enginear 13:56, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Stripping off doesn't necessarily imply nudity. You can just strip off your shirt, tie and trousers if you want. --80.47.112.2 14:18, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

You like the way a bit of smut was sneakily added in there? —This unsigned comment was added by 80.47.112.2 (talk • contribs).

Added etymology + intransitive sense To be removed by stripping, and cites for all senses. --Enginear 14:40, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
