Charlize Theron gets naked?
Ynnej hates it when web comics guys can't spell.
Well, I hate it when people use the wrong word. Like when people confuse "buff" with "buffed." They are not, I reapeat, not the same fucking thing.
Buff means naked. Buffed means strong. Period. Buff does not mean strong. Jesus christ, people, get a fucking clue.
So you can imagine my disappointment when I learned that Charlize Theron was not getting buff in her latest movie, as this headline (mis)stated.

Not so fast Mr. Language Person.

Besides, neither buff nor buffed means strong, rather buff can mean "Having good muscle tone; physically fit and trim."
Think about it: Who is more buff(ed), Brad Pitt or Monocle Man? Who is stronger?

As much as I'd like to prove you wrong, the fucking OED (yay for Hampshire not cancelling my online account yet!) fucking agrees with you -- on the "buff means naked" part anyway. It doesn't say anything about the word "buffed" meaning strong though. And since I've never, EVER heard anybody but you say that, I'm going to continue to disagree with you -- everyone and their mother uses the word "buff" when talking about someone being strong, it's totally fucking ridiculous to start a crusade about it. Ass.

i hate to disagree with a fellow grammar nazi but "buff" is slang for strong (or toned or whatever). it obviously doesn't have that definition formally but nevertheless.
i.e. Buffy the Vampire Slayer: not naked, just buff (fit)
