lives under a rock

Misses all news

To live under a rock is to be oblivious to common knowledge or current events that most people know about.

The image suggests someone so isolated they've missed what's obvious to everyone else: Have you been living under a rock? That story was everywhere.

Often phrased as a question to express disbelief at someone's ignorance.
