Default Re: Vegging Out

I've heard the expression a lot so I'm not sure then if that means it's a British or Australian expression.
I would say it's akin to being a couch potato; you can be chilling out at home and still be active (just in a relaxed way!), but vegging out suggests that you really didn't move much whether off the sofa or your bed.
I thought it might have developed from the way people can be described as being in a vegetative state or 'vegetables' after losing some brain functions.
