slobbing out

Being completely idle

Slobbing out is British slang for lounging around lazily, usually at home, with no intention of being productive or presentable: I spent Sunday slobbing out on the sofa watching telly.

The phrase suggests comfortable self-indulgence—wearing pajamas, eating junk food, ignoring responsibilities.

Americans might say vegging out or bumming around.
