Hmm...we are taught that the double negative does NOT mean a positive (despite the mathematic implication otherwise), and that double-negatives are grammatically incorrect. Nowhere, however, do we try using a double-positive to imply a negative.






Yeah, right.



I've heard the expression, "elephant under the rug." I have sometimes heard this expression to include that the elephant was hiding under the rug.


I had also heard about elephants in the room, but they were usually pink, and related to the lack of sobriety of the person claiming their presence.
