Half naked

Well, to point out, many people do say that they are only half dressed.

It's similar to the Glass Half empty/Full Question, which is answerable depending on whether you are pouring into the glass or pouring out of the glass. If you are pouring water into the glass and stop halfway, then it is half full, if you are pouring water out of the glass and stop halfway, the glass is half empty.

Same thing with clothes. If you were fully dressed, and then stopped while you still had clothes on, then you're halfway to being naked (half naked) but if you are in the process of putting clothes on, and stop before you finish, then you are only halfway dressed (half dressed)

Another question of life solved with LOGIC!

The terms "half full" and "half empty" can actually be properly used when pouring either in or out of the glass.
Here I'll make up two conversations to illustrate my point:
Example 1,
Guy: Can you empty that glass of water for me please?
Girl:sure *starts emptying glass*
Guy: aren't you done yet? because I really need the glass now.
Girl: Nope sorry, the glass is still half full so it might take awhile.
-or-
Girl: I'm pouring as fast as I can, It's already half empty so don't worry.

Example 2
Girl: I need a full glass of water for an experiment can you pour me one?
Guy: sure *starts pouring water into the glass*
Girl: Aren't you done yet? I really need the glass.
Guy:Nope sorry, the glass is still half empty so it might take awhile.
-or-
Guy:There's something wrong with the faucet, the water isn't coming out as fast as I want it to.
       The glass is already half full though so don't fret.
