If I say to someone 'You been living under a rock' what I'm I saying o refering to?
'we need to get out of the rock' is the same thing or has the same meaning? __________________ Thanks in advance, Antonio

Re: Living under a rock
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If someone has been living under a rock, it means he has been very sheltered or out of touch.
I have never heard "we need to get out of the rock."

Yes - my understanding is the same, and I haven't heard of the second phrase either. __________________ Fog in Channel. Continent Cut Off - The Times timpeac

It's dark under a rock.
It's symbolic to mean you've been living your life cut off or detached to such an extent that you're unaware or unfamiliar with something, someone, or a certain issue.
You're "in the dark", so to speak.
It's as if you've been living under a rock and don't have a clue to what's going on.
Example:
"You've never heard of Paris Hilton?
Where have you been for the last couple of years...living under a rock?" You might say to someone:
You need to get out from under that rock you've been living under!

Well, you sound like a real attractive guy. You belong in New Jersey. But I know exactly what you're going through, cause once, I, Roseanne Rosannadanna quit smoking.
To get back in shape, I had to join one of those fancy shmancy health clubs. You know, the ones where it's really expensive to join but it's worth it because you get to see alot of people that you don't know naked.
Like some people got them bulgy, bulgy thighs, the ones that get chafed just 'cause they're always scraping together.
And there's other people there that got them funny bellybuttons. Like some go in, and some go out, some are like a ball, or curl around, or it's like a little knob on it like a door.
Some people even got little pieces of their sweater still in it. Some of them even look like a little shell or a clam or something you don't know what they are. But personally, I, Roseanne Rosanndanna, don't like to walk around with no clothes on in front of other people.
Not that I don't have a great body, but why should I waste it on a bunch of fat ladies in a health club? Anyway, they got this thing there that's a little room that's hot inside and you go in there to sweat like a pig. So I go in there, but before I sit down, I put this clean towel on the bench 'cause there's alot of people been there and you don't know where they been. But who do you think is sitting next to me but Dr. Joyce Brothers.
That very smart pixie lady who thinks she knows everything. But what this nude psycologist didn't know was that she had this little, teeny, tiny ball of sweat right here, hanging off the tip of her nose.
It was just hanging there! It wouldn't fall off! Like if she turned her head, it wouldn't fall off.
If she stood up it didn't fall off, if she stretched it wouldn't come off, and when she picked little pieces of her sweater out of her bellybutton it wouldn't fall off. That little sweat ball just wouldn't fall off.
So I yelled at her, I said, "Hey, Doctor! Flick that sweat ball off your nose!
