| Phrase | couch |
| Text | The word "couch," in this podcast, means a sofa, or a large piece of soft furniture that three or more people can sit on comfortably, usually all facing the same way: "You'd have a better view of the TV if you sat on the couch." A "couch potato" is a person who is very lazy and spends too much time sitting on a couch, watching TV and eating: "The doctor said that I have to stop being such a couch potato and start getting more exercise." The phrase "to be couched in (something)" means to say something in a certain way, especially in a hidden way: "The true meaning of the author's writing is couched in a lot of fancy, poetic expressions." |
