Live Under A Rock
It is said to be a person who lives in isolation from and has limited knowledge of what is happening in the world around them. Used to describe an ignorant or obtuse person.
Usually someone who lives in the basement of their mothers house.
Someone who spends too much time playing Farmville on Facebook.
Often someone glued to their television or computer screen.
Someone who lives in their basement and only comes out for special occasions.
Where have you been for the last couple of years... living under a rock?"
"Unless you've been living under a rock, you'd know about..."
"You need to get out from under that rock you've been living under!"
"Wait... you don't know about that? Are you stupid!?"
"No, I have just been living under a rock recently."
"Are you serious!? Do you live under a rock?

This site is not about people who live under rocks in any way or form quite the opposite actually that was just a very catchy way of opening this blog site.
Seriously we are going to talk about a lot of things about a lot of rocks and what actually lives underneath those rocks and although the main ingredients are rocks many unrock like properties dwell in rocky places and are affected by THE ROCK.
Thank you for joining us today!

In brief
The state of the atmosphere at a place and time as regards heat, cloudiness, dryness, sunshine, wind, rain, etc.
In Māori mythology
Tāwhirimātea (or Tāwhiri) is the god of weather, including thunder and lightning, wind, clouds and storms.
He is a son of Papatūānuku (earth mother) and Ranginui (sky father).
In his anger at his brothers for separating their parents, Tāwhirimātea destroyed the forests of Tāne (god of forests), drove Tangaroa (god of the sea) and his progeny into the sea, pursued Rongo and Haumia-tiketike till they had to take refuge in the bosom of their mother Papa, and only found in Tūmatauenga a worthy opponent and eternal enemy
To fight his brothers, Tāwhirimātea gathered an army of his children, winds and clouds of different kinds - including
- Apū-hau ("fierce squall")
- Apū-matangi,
- Ao-nui,
- Ao-roa,
- Ao-pōuri,
- Ao-pōtango,
- Ao-whētuma,
- Ao-whekere,
- Ao-kāhiwahiwa,
- Ao-kānapanapa,
- Ao-pākinakina,
- Ao-pakarea,
- and Ao-tākawe
(Grey 1971).
Grey translates these as 'fierce squalls, whirlwinds, dense clouds, massy clouds, dark clouds, gloomy thick clouds, fiery clouds, clouds which preceded hurricanes, clouds of fiery black, clouds reflecting glowing red light, clouds wildly drifting from all quarters and wildly bursting, clouds of thunder storms, and clouds hurriedly flying on' (Grey 1956:5).
Other children of Tāwhirimātea are the various kinds of rain, mists and fog.
Tāwhirimātea's attacks on his brothers led to the flooding of large areas of the land. The names of the beings involved in this flooding include
- Ua-nui (terrible rain),
- Ua-roa (long-continued rain),
- Ua-whatu (fierce hailstorms),
- and Ua-nganga (sleet);
after these, their children in turn took up the fight:
- Hau-maringi (mist),
- Hau-marotoroto (heavy dew),
- and Tōmairangi (light mist)
- Tregear mentions Hau-maringiringi as a personification of mists
(Tregear 1891:54).
Tāwhirimātea live on the sky with his father Rangi and brother, star Rehua.
