Idiom #12: Couch Potato

Couch Potato

Meaning: A really lazy person. He/she usually sits down on the couch all day and watches TV

Example:
  • Jimmy: Mark can you help me learn Japanese?
  • Mark: Not right now, I'm watching Naruto!
  • Jimmy: You've been watching Naruto all day...stop being a couch potato!
  • Mark: Ahhh!! Chotto matte tebbayo!!!
That's Mr. Potato to you!

Origin: Think of a potato. It is fat and doesn't move. So when a person watches TV all day, he usually doesn't exercise and doesn't move around a lot.


I love potato chips! If you like them too, comment below! :)
