Elephant in the room

A very American saying, that is a metaphor for something that people do not want to discuss.

Popularised in the UK by Loose Women guest panellist Alexandra Burke.
Ah, there's an Elephant in the room,
Ah, though we're all alone,
It's not just me and you

Ancient Psychic Tandem War Elephant

A way cool beast that Jake and Finn wish for on an episode of Adventure Time. It looks like 2 conjoined elephants, with orange goggles on each face and golden shotguns for tusks. It also has rockets on it's feet and can shoot a purple beam out of its trunks. If anyone ever comes across one, and you are wondering how it is controlled, just remember; you don't control it, you must let it give you control. It will know if you are worthy to command him because he is psychic.
Finn the human: What should we wish for Jake?

Jake the dog: Something only two bros can share...

elephant golf

Golfing game. When a man fails to drive the ladies tee-box it is customary to force him to turn his trouser/shorts pockets inside out, unzip his fly, and walk the length of the hole with his johnson out, thus making an elephants image around his crotch.

Cruel variations of this game include consuming a quiagh (a small silver tureen used to formally serve whiskey at gatherings) of whiskey before every new hole when playing in a fourball. The first 3 players (determined by the lowest score at the previous hole) can sip as much or as little as they like, but the fourth player must finish what is left. This normally results in at least one player getting totally mashed and spaffing their drives only a handful of yards.
"Ooops, failed to make the ladies tee again, you know what that means - elephant golf!"

"Let's hit the golf course with a bottle of dram for some elephant golf"

"OK, rules for todays golf competition. No ladies on the course, and elephant golf to be played at all times."
