“Elephant in the room” is an idiomatic expression for a fact, truth, or problem that is obvious to everyone but avoided in conversation, most likely because it is a taboo, embarrassing, or uncomfortable topic of discussion. It is based on the idea that something as big as an elephant in a room is hard to overlook, and the only way to avoid it would be to stubbornly pretend not to see it.
