"soft baked"; and "no great kicks"

[George Thompson]

Jonathon Green is no longer one of us, so I forwarded this item to him.  He replies that Farmer & Henley give "soft-baked" as an alternative form of "half-baked". I hadn't checked that book.

JG says that his slang dictionary is scheduled to appear in late September.
