I will sit on the couch and ruminate. Or ruinate.
That's not an anagram, right?

No, I meant to type "ruminate" in the first sentence, but I initially typo'ed it as "ruinate" instead. I decided to leave it as an afterthought.
But yikes, now I see what you were getting at. I just typed an anagram for "ruminate" into a search engine and came back with a bunch of hits to the Urban Dictionary... and Parks and Recreation, which I never watched. No, no, definitely
rumination going on here and not the anagram.

Off the couch! A nice clean puzzle, Jay, as per usual. 47A was new to me.

Thanks Jay! Off the couch. My 2nd solve in my nascent meta solving career, it all came together at 4 a.m. lying in the dark, so I had to get up and confirm my thinking. Fun!

Had an epiphany during my drive to FL (only made it to Fredericksburg - - anyone been to the Bowman distillery here? Some wicked bourbon!). Anyway, (un)officially off the couch but quite confident. Great one Jay!

Ah, one of the nudges was just what I needed to get pushed off the couch!
That is, I figured out how to Profit! off of the underpants I collected.
