Naked edges are edges which have only one adjacent face - so they are on the boundary.

Analyze > Edge Tools > Show Edges or the ShowEdges command will help you see what Daniel is saying.

Also on a mesh you can run "Check" for info:

This is a good mesh.

Important things to consider with this mesh:
Mesh has 16 naked edges. Although this does not necessarily mean that the mesh is bad,
naked edges can cause problems if the ultimate goal is STL output.
