vegging out
Couch potato mode
Vegging out is relaxing in a passive, mindless way—watching TV, scrolling through a phone, doing nothing that requires mental effort.
The image is of a vegetable: inert, unthinking.
I spent Sunday vegging out on the couch.
Sometimes shortened to just vegging: I'm just vegging today.
