comater

to veg out, to veg, to doze (in particular when drunk)

Usage

Very informal, modern slang derived from coma — meaning to be completely wiped out, zoned out, or inactive from exhaustion, illness, or being high (il comate devant la télé). Not standard or formal French.

Examples
  • Après la fête, il a comaté toute la journée.After the party, he was completely wiped out all day.
  • Je comate devant Netflix depuis trois heures.I've been zoned out in front of Netflix for three hours.
  • Elle comate encore à cause du décalage horaire.She's still out of it because of jet lag.
Common mistake

Comater is casual slang, not a word to use in formal writing or with people you don't know well — être épuisé or être crevé are the safer, standard choices for "exhausted" in neutral registers.
