elephant in the room 

n. A very large issue that everyone is acutely aware of, but nobody wants to talk about. Perhaps a sore spot, perhaps politically incorrect, or perhaps a political hot potato, it's something that no one wants to touch with a ten foot pole. Sometimes pink elephant in the room.

The degeneration of parental responsibility in this country is the elephant in the room, but no one in Washington wants to address it.

Elephant in the room 

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

smartest guy in the room 

The one we all hate, who is never content not being the center of attention. Every story told near this guy gets a response of what he would've done, how you screwed up, or a whitty use of math/science to assert him dominance.

I was talking to Carl about an episode of Breaking Bad and he lectured me about all the science that's wrong with the show, while using words he knows that I don't know, just to show how he is the smartest guy in the room and I am not
