Have a short break.

Here's a little story of a Pink Elephant in the Room.

We've heard of a White Elephant... so here's a little on the Pink Elephant.

~ from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Elephant in the room" or "Elephant in the living room" is an English metaphorical idiom for an obvious truth that is either being ignored or going UN-addressed. 

The idiomatic expression also applies to an obvious problem or risk no one wants to discuss.

It is based on the idea that an elephant in a room would be impossible to overlook; thus, people in the room who pretend the elephant is not there have chosen to avoid dealing with the looming big issue.

The Oxford English Dictionary gives the first recorded use of the phrase, as a simile, as The New York Times on June 20, 1959: 
"Financing schools has become a problem about equal to having an elephant in the living room. It's so big you just can't ignore it."
