The elephant in the room (also elephant in the living room,elephant in the corner,elephant on the dinner table,elephant in the kitchen,etc.) is an English idiom for a question or problem that very obviously stands,but which is ignored for the convenience of one or other party.It derives its symbolic meaning from the fact that an elephant would indeed be conspicuous and remarkable in a small room; thus the idiom also implies a value judgment that the issue should be discussed openly.The idiom is commonly used in addiction recovery terminology to describe the reluctance of friends and family of an addicted person to discuss the person's problem,thus aiding the person in his denial.
The idiom is also occasionally invoked as "pink elephant in the corner," possibly in reference to alcohol abuse,or for no other reason than a pink elephant is more visible than a normal elephant (and certainly more remarkable,since pink elephants don't exist).
