LOL, I was not correct. I was so excited thinking I had the right answer that I didn't even count the letters in my submitted solution...

Thanks @Abide for the puzzle!

Waiting confirmation, but I believe I'm off the couch. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Looks like I’m in good company here on this couch. I definitely see the first step. Thought I had a good idea what to google next, but it doesn’t seem to lead anywhere.

Also have a guess, but haven’t managed to backsolve into that either.

I've submitted, but will refrain from declaring myself off the couch just yet as this, too, seems like a 100%-er. I did find a rather compelling rabbit hole, though.

Update: confirmed off the couch, though I did leave an imprint

I'm sooooo on the couch, despite nudges. My a$$ may be permanently part of the cushion at this point - LOL.

In test solving this one, I did not have to Google anything, but only because I had been working on a similarly themed puzzle of my own as a possible MMM. Believe me, Peter's is much better.

@dudeski , I don't see your submission. Please try again.

Thanks @Abide for the puzzle!
If it makes you feel any better, I did the same thing I believe you did when I test solved it...

I felt so bad for you. But yeah, were you ever ready for this one. Talk about in your wheelhouse!

Got it! Off the couch is the proper saying? Thanks Abide! Got this one without nudges - practice, practice, practice (no AND there :-)).

Really? Then apparently either my assumptions about this puzzle are wrong or my assumptions about @Bird Lives wheelhouses are wrong. I wonder which.

The world in question is not really one I spend any time in, but it seemed like good material for a meta. I had to Google much of the relevant information. Not really my wheelhouse, more like a wheel AirBnb -- temporary housing for my wheel.
