Veg

What is veg short for?

To do nothing

Veg is when a person kicks back and does absolutely nothing with the goal of pure relaxation. Reminiscent of a vegetable (think couch potato) that's just hanging out without a thought in the world, vegging involves lounging around with no specific agenda, binging TV, scrollaxing, or simply existing.

The term gained popularity as busy lives led people (looking at you, introverts) to cherish moments of leisure when they could just unplug and unwind. Nowadays, people often veg with devices, whether it's a mobile phone, a computer, or a gaming console.

Example

what are you up to this weekend?

sounds perfect. mind if i join?
not at all, bring snacks!
A woman veging on the couch
