My Grandparents were great lovers of words, and taught me to appreciate the English language in all its pleasures. So I'm often interested in how words originate, and tonight I sought to know more about the term "half-baked." A quick search found a fairly comprehensive reference [link].

I thought others might enjoy reading this. Since it's not really an idea, I'll delete this after a while.

Do other languages share this meaning?

Odd that most of the examples in the link refer to people. This has of course now been superceded by 'Under-Dunn'. Over.
