Idioms

Idiom of the day:

Couch potato.

There are two other nouns that refer to the same concept as couch: one is settee (not very common either) and the most common is sofa, which is the one we normally learn at school.

This expression refers to someone who spends lots of time sitting on the couch, usually watching TV, as well as eating crisps and/or drinking beer. Because a picture is worth a thousand words, no one better than the man in the picture to illustrate the meaning of this idiom.
