Hello everyone! What about the latest idiom?

Alright guys! your Idiom today is ,, Black sheep (of the family)" which means " someone who is thought to be a bad person by the rest of his family.

Origin:

The term originated from the occasional black sheep which are born into a flock of white sheep due toa genetic process of recessive traits. Black wool was considered commercially undesirable because it could not be dyed. In 18th and 19th century England, the black color of the sheep was seen as the mark of the devil.
