vegging

Doing absolutely nothing

Vegging is relaxing in an idle, passive state—doing nothing that requires thought or effort.

Short for vegetating, it suggests being as mentally inactive as a vegetable: I spent Sunday vegging on the couch.

Often appears as vegging out.

The word carries no judgment; sometimes you need to veg.
