Ever thought what would happen if there was an actual elephant in the room that you didn't want to talk about.

"No (looks at the ground downcast and kicks aimlessly at the turf with her toe), I guess, I didn't . . . . sorry."

Am I gonna get the speech about the evils of elephant hunting and the ivory trade now??

Nah. Maybe the idiom is not used in your parts. In the UK "the elephant in the room' is used to refer to something everyone knows about but is too embarrassed to mention.

@Steerpike: I'm familiar with the expression, Mr. Pike. It was just my lame attempt at being funny. Didn't work very well, did it?

So, sorry, my dear. My obtuseness was inexcusable. Blame it on my advanced years.
