I agree with the other commenters. Soft is stupid or slow. My mother would say, "I musta been soft to think yous would come back with change after I told you to only buy some tonic and fudgicles. Now gimme that change; it's my-in."Kate from the Merrimack ValleyActually first from Chemsfed, then from Boston, then J.P., then Lowell, then Beacon Hill, now Haverill.

Basically stupid but also with some crazy potential.Someone soft in Dot wasn't just dumb but kind of wacky and would do crazy soft.My friend was hammered and acting up at his house once and his father just shook his head and said, "You're soft as puppy shit."Pretty much sums up the usage.

We always said "Soft as a grape" meaning someone had no sense.

Srsly - I'm not from heah, but have only heard "whaddayah saft?" as analogue to "whaddahyah rit-AH-did" er sumfin'.

"Soft" also meant not quite mentally adequate, or, ya know, stupid. "You want to drive to the squayah Now? Whattayou, soft?"
