watching the box Explanation: This often means watching the TV, and is a fairly slang form. So ... This brought telly-watching down to normal levels. The -ei ending is a difficult one to pin down. It is often a noun form of a verb, and in a slightly negative context, so 'Sauferei', 'Fresserei', etc. If you can't find it, try looking up the verbal form, which should give you a good idea.
