- 1. a member of a family or group who is regarded as a disgrace to it: "Michael's younger brother was the black sheep of the family"
noun
In the English language, black sheep is an idiom that describes a member of a group who is different from the rest, especially a family member who does not fit in. The term stems from sheep whose fleece is colored black rather than the more common white; these sheep stand out in the flock and their wool is worth less as it will not dye. Wikipedia
