>>>
In London today, potato farmers marched on Parliament to demand that the
term "couch potato" be removed from the prestigious _Oxford English
Dictionary_.
The protesting farmers claim that the term demeans the potato and is
offensive.
They demand it be stricken from the language and replaced with the term
"couch slouch."
