Living Under A Rock

The idiom "living under a rock" means that someone is unaware or uninformed about something that is common knowledge or widely known. It is usually used to describe someone who is out of touch with the world around them or who is not keeping up with current events or trends.

Similarly, if someone is not aware of a major news event or political development, you might say, "Are you living under a rock?" This means that the person is not paying attention to what is happening in the world and is therefore uninformed.
