English term or phrase: coach potato
Chodzi mi po pierwsze o to, czy w Polsce pojawil sie odpowiednik. Albo, czy ktos ma jakis dobry pomysl? Slownik Oksfordzki podaje "leniwiec", ale to moze byc jakiekolwiek lenistwo, nie tylko spedzanie wiekszosci czasu przed telewizorem. Kontekstu brak!

agree  Himawari: kanapowiec - swietne! Szczxegolnie, ze "couch potato"podkresla bardziej brak aktywnosci fiz. i przywiazanie do mebla niz fakt ogladania TV z tegoz.
