A Thousand Words In Idioms, E and F

As long as people have been around, they have tried to communicate with each other. As a means of getting the message across as clearly as possible, idioms and sayings have found their way into our language. Now, because "a picture paints a thousand words", I thought it would be nice to make this a new photo challenge. The idea is to choose an idiom, or a saying, ( even slang is allowed) and illustrate it with a picture. Each week we'll cover two letters of the alphabet, okay?
The very first edition is here if you need some inspiration.
So here we go again ...

E is for ...

"Elephant in the room".
I am picking that one because there's a funny story attached to it.
I first came across this idiom in my early "blogging-in-English" days. I read about "a nine thousand pound elephant in the bedroom" in a comment, I remember well! I even remember who commented and whose blog it was on! Speaking of elephants, I must have a memory like one! I had no idea what it meant then, but I do now!
An elephant in the room is a problem everybody knows about but rather not talk about, a taboo.
There is an article on the meaning and the origin of that saying here, if you're interested.

I happen to have the perfect picture in my archives, how cool is that?

F is for ...


"Fresh from the oven" Sorry if I'm making you hungry again!!
If something is fresh from the oven it means that it's very new.


That's it from me this week!
I'm dying to see what you have come up with this week!!!
