Metaphor for Naming Elephants in UK

[Artur Silva]

Hi:

I was trying to discover what could be the Portuguese expression that was equivalent but I couldn't. We don't have "dead animals" anywhere (mooses, elephants, cats - any animal I can remember).

But then, I have discovered with Agneta that we also have "dead humans". We also use the expression "a corpse in the wardrobe" - "um cadáver no armário", to be clear ;-)
