A couch is a sofa. Picture a potato lying on the sofa all day with the remote, watching TV and wasting time. That lazy person is a couch potato.

The answer is 'a lazy person who watches too much TV'; sedentary and slothful are similar, diligent is the opposite. Do not confuse it with 'a hot potato' (a difficult, controversial issue).
