	CalifJim  +  103590 Sat, 28 May 05 07:34 AM "laid back" - not easily excited An interesting question is whether this expression has now finally enshrined "laid" as the 'real' past participle of "to lie". I don't think the expression "lain back" exists. Or are we to take "laid" as passive, something which has been done to the laid-back person?
