Elephants are very big animals. They are easy to see because they take up a lot of space. Now, imagine an elephant in a room. Most people will notice it and want to talk about it. However, when people use "elephant in the room," they don't do that.
The elephant is actually' a big subject, question, or problem. Everyone in the room knows about it, but nobody wants to do anything about it. So, everyone pretends to be OK with it and says nothing.
That might work for a while. However, it doesn't solve anything because the elephant is still there. Also, the elephant might get bigger. So, try to talk about the elephant. That way, you can get it out of the room and your life.
