When you're high on drugs aka shrooms and you see a cop- he/she is supposed to look like a pinkelephant- this is obviously when you're trippin and is supposed to keep you from getting caught-
I was so fucking high yesterday when we were drivin around, and then i saw a pinkelephant behind us and I knew to calm down so we wouldn't get pulled over.
A wedding where something is obviously very wrong, or out of place
Where everyone knows about it but no one will talk about it
In most cases the bride or groom is secretly gay
"Everyone but the bride knows the groom is gay. It's gonna be a pink elephantwedding!"
A "pink elephant in the room" is a phrase used to say that there is something very obvious, one cant miss it, yet no one wants to be the person to point it out or talk about it. Its assumed that everyone has noticed it. It may be that pointing it out is politically not correct, impolite, or offensive.
This phrase was first introduced by Sam Senev who brought an actual pink elephant to a speech as a social experiment. After the speech the audience was polled about their opinion. He often uses the same pink elephant in meetings and speeches.
