Hi Steemians!
[PL] Post edukacyjny komentarz na dole.
Time for idiom week day 4. If you haven't check out idiom week day 3, day 2 and day 1!
So far we had three cat idioms. Now, a different animal.
Let's look at the picture first:
This phrase you can often hear in movies or TV series especially when a problem needs to be addressed and few people want to talk about it.
We need to address the elephant in the room: why do you always smell like alcohol after a party? - says a mother of a 15-year-old child
The elephant in the room among Mary and Joe is, who will pay the bills this month.
I remember in one TV series (it might have been Friends, I don't remember :( ) the character said:
We need to address the elephant in the room, why is there an elephant in the room?
Do you get the joke? :)
One of the possible origins of this idioms is that it came from a fable entitled "the inquisitive man" - where a man goes to a museum, notices all the tiny details of different objects, but fails to notice a big elephant...
Stay tuned for day 5! And remember to upvote and follow me @cwbrooch :)
[PL] Ciężko mi przypomnieć sobie idiom, który by pasował tutaj... Chodzi o to by omówić sprawę dla wszystkich oczywistą, ale o której nikt nie chce mówić. Mamy coś podobnego?
