Pink Elephant

Don't exactly know if the pink elephant phrase is used in the same context as a blue moon, but the phrase was never really alien to me. This was mostly because my favorite toy/plaything/actually lets call it Teddy because that is what it substituted was a pink elephant.



have this for as long as I remember. It is called Bangari which means 'darling' in Kannada. It had a sitting elephant as a companion, a yellow elephant called Sringari think I have lost it, donno what the name means either.

Would it be too gross to go around claiming that I have slept with a pink elephant everytime someone uses the phrase?
