Black Sheep

Intermediate English speaking lesson, 4 minutes

The phrase "black sheep" is typically used to describe a person who is considered the odd one out in a group or family, often due to their unconventional behavior or beliefs. This person may be seen as a rebel or a source of shame or embarrassment by others. The phrase is derived from the fact that black sheep are relatively rare in a flock of white sheep, and they may be singled out or treated differently as a result.
