How it's used
Focuses specifically on the accidental or careless exposure of skin or body parts, often implying a lack of modesty or a risk of catching a cold. It carries a slightly admonishing tone when used by elders or friends to suggest someone should cover up. Unlike general verbs for showing or revealing, this implies a physical boundary like clothing has been breached.
Examples
Your shirt is so short, it's embarrassing that you're always exposing your belly.
Don't expose your back while exercising, be careful not to catch a cold.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the sports sense of hitting a ball, which is a completely different usage. In daily life, it is almost exclusively used for body parts peeking out from under clothes.
