“Living under a rock” (uninformed)

Someone who has been “living under a rock” is someone who doesn’t know even the most popular cultural events. A person “living under a rock” has no media—no radio, no television, no newspapers and no Internet. The expression “living under a rock” implies that the person came straight from the stone age.
 
“Liberty has been living under a rock” was cited in print in May 1945. American singer and actor Frank Sinatra (1915-1998) popularized the term in December 1954 in a United Press news story:
 
“‘I added that if he didn’t know who Judy Garland was, he must have been living under a rock,’ Sinatra said.”
   
 
11 May 1945, Zanesville (OH) Signal, “Id Rather Be Right” by Samuel Grafton, pg. 4, col. 6:
(German Foreign Minister—ed.) Von Krosigk’s speech is curiously complete, for he also trots out the idea of “liberty.” Liberty has been living under a rock in Germany for a dozen years, but Von Krosigk wipes the mold off it, and exhibits it, blinking stupidly in the sun.
