Hi,
I would suggest - 'I would like an explanation'.
This expression
| Quote: |
| a veritable couch potato |
describes someone who sits on a sofa (couch) all day and does nothing.
'Veritable' means 100%. A potato is a vegetable and the use here suggests someone who is doing nothing and not thinking.
