| To be a "black sheep" means to be an outcast or disgrace within a family or group, someone who is considered different, worthless, or a failure by their peers. The term originated from the observation of black sheep in a flock of white sheep these sheep stood out and their wool was less valuable because it couldn't be dyed, leading to the association of black sheep with being undesirable. |
