It doesn't seem to be, but a couch potato is. That is someone who is lazy, particularly someone who mostly only stays on a couch, eats, and watches television. The term seems to come from being on a couch, eating potato chips, and being in what seems like a vegetative state. A related idiom is "veg out."
It's from America but also commonly used in Great Britain.

A metaphor for lazy could be "couch potato" to describe someone who spends a lot of time sitting around and doing nothing.
Maybe you have heard the term, "Couch potato" . . . that is someone who lies around watching TV for hours. "Mouse potato" is a cute take-off from couch potato, and refers to people that sit around playing on the computer (using the 'mouse') for hours. This is not a vegetable.
