live under a rock
Clueless about everything
To live under a rock is to be oblivious to common knowledge or current events that most people know about.
The phrase usually appears as a question expressing disbelief at someone's ignorance: Have you been living under a rock?
The image suggests someone so isolated from society that even widely known information hasn't reached them.
