Yep, a sign of the times...Moron is the new black. 🙄

"Moron is the new black." is that an Aussie thing? I don't know what that means sir galenkp.

The term, "the new black" is a popular term around the world. It means that something is popular, or I'm fashion.

It derives from the fashion industry in which black is considered classic, timeless and so always in fashion and popular or in demand.

It is an American term, coined many years ago, and used most recently in a television series called Orange is the New Black which is set in a prison.*

Ergo, moron is the new black, means being a moron seems to be the fashion these days.

I'm surprised you've not heard the term considering how widely spread it is utilised.
