Stubenhocker

Some people do squats as a form of muscle-building exercise, but the German word "Stubenhocker" (literally, "one who squats in the parlor") doesn't have anything to do with anything productive. In fact, it has more to do with television and chips than with squatting. In plain old English, the "Stubenhocker" is really just a lazy couch potato. Potatoes obviously can't squat. And -- just ask this guy -- sitting around is much more comfortable.
