vege out

I learned that Australian people say "vege/veg out" as slang to mean "do nothing and realax". Do other native speakers (such as American or British people) use it, too?

It's certainly used in BrE, spelt "veg out". Note the correct spelling of "relax" as shown above in red.

Americans use it too. I wouldn't spell it vege, as my readers would read that unfamiliar word and think "veej".​

It is used in AmE also.

The -e is unnecessary- we use fruit and veg and pronounce it with a soft g, and the same is true of the verb.

Thank you!

My Australian friend writes "vege".
