Go Super to Listen

It’s pretty common for young Hollywood stars to lead crazy lives off-screen. Take Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, for instance. You’re more likely to find them dancing on tables than veging out at home on a Friday night. Or a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday night, for that matter.

But the actress Kirsten Dunst says she is different. She would rather stay in and do nothing than go out and be wild. She is a famous movie star who has appeared in films like Spider Man. But when she isn’t working, she likes to veg out.

The expression veg out comes from the word vegetable. A vegetable doesn’t do much. It just sits around on the table or in your refrigerator. So someone who acts like a vegetable by veging out doesn’t do anything but sit around.

Do you like to veg out, or do you prefer to be active during your free time?

Examples

1. Examples - Hear some example sentences.

“I didn’t do anything last night. I just veged out around the house.”

“I don’t have any plans this weekend. I think I’m going to veg out on Saturday, and then do some gardening on Sunday.”

“I was veging out at home with some friends yesterday. We watched TV for about 7 hours.”

I didn't quite understand: is vegging out limited only to home or in general to any place? as far as i understood what's implied is just home, so when one says they're veggin out it implies home only not any other place. am i right?
