vegged out
Couch potato mode
Vegged out describes a state of passive relaxation, usually in front of a screen, doing nothing mentally demanding.
The image is of a vegetable—inert, unthinking: I vegged out on the couch all weekend watching reality TV.
The phrase captures deliberate mental idleness, often as recovery from stress or exhaustion.
