couch potato : a person who takes little and no exercise and watches a lot of TV

شخص كسول لا يقوم بأي تمرينات وفي أغلب وقته يسترخي على الأريكة لمشاهدة التلفاز




A couch potato



is a person who spends a lot of time watching television with little or no physical activity. They can do this either sitting or lying down on a couch (or sofa) or even sitting in an armchair.


The idea is that they don’t move very much and a couch potato can sometimes be considered lazy or inactive. Instead of going outside or doing other active activities, they prefer spending long periods of time in front of the television.
This sedentary life-style is often accompanied by unhealthy snacks or junk food.






Example sentences with Couch Potato :



The only thing you do all day is watch TV. You’ve become a real couch potato, haven’t you?
Stop being a couch potato! Turn off the TV and go out and do something with your life.
My husband has become a couch potato since he lost his job. Now all he does is sit in front of the television all day eating pizza.
You should be more active and less of a couch potato. Your body will appreciate it.
