The first thing that comes to mind when reading this topic, is something that is being avoided, but is bigger than big as an elephant is a very huge animal.
When going on the internet and typing this sentence, it says that it is an idiom that refers to the obvious truth that is being ignored and not being addressed.
A scenario that comes to mind is in a movie called ‘why did i get married’ where the friends all went away for a week, and they are sitting at the dinner table and the husband is there with another girl who claims to be a family friend (the wife is there), and everyone knows that the husband is cheating with the friend.
Needless to say, when the matter was a addressed, it was explosive. So we should always address the elephant in the room, no matter how big and ugly it may be.
