Vegging Out A few weeks ago I came across the expression veg out meaning, I think, chill out (it was in an inferring from context activity and I had to infer it myself:o ) Have other people heard it? Is it common? How long has it been around ? I presume it comes from the idea that vegetables just slump around doing very little? |
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. |
Re: Vegging Out I'd say it's a pretty common expression in the UK, maybe not in America. Let's do a google battle with 'chill out': http://www.googlebattle.com/index.ph...t&submit=Go%21 |
