It can mean any one of several things. First, it could be a derogatory reference to a paraplegic, quadriplegic, a comatose person, or someone suffering from another debilitating condition or illness. Second, it could refer to a lazy person, evoking images of the first case, above. Third, it could mean that you are, quite literally, a vegetable (i.e. a plant).

In a medical context, being a vegetable refers to a person who is in a persistent vegetative state, also known as a state of wakeful unconsciousness, where they are not aware of their surroundings but still exhibit basic reflexes. This term is now considered outdated and dehumanizing, and it is more appropriate to use terms like "vegetative state" or "unresponsive wakefulness syndrome."
