Etymology

From nude + -in, modelled after sit-in, etc.

Meanings

1. A form of peaceful protest involving nudity originating in 1960s counterculture.
   • The fact that nudity was a cultural taboo meant that it could provide a vehicle for dissent. Sometimes the dissent was generalized, as in the case of public nude-ins. Nudity outraged the majority of citizens, and that was reason enough for it. 1991, Timothy Miller, The hippies and American values, University of Tennessee Press, →ISBN, page 61:
