Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is the elephant in the room and its meaning is “it is mostly used to refer to a serious problem — one which people are aware of, but choose to ignore. They think that if they do not talk about it, the problem will somehow disappear”.
Example Sentence: And India will have to deal with the elephant in the room — Virat Kohli. Their next Test (cricket) is in December, but will Kohli do what Cheteshwar Pujara did and play enough first class cricket in the meantime to rediscover his touch and form?
