While we’re on the subject, I demand that that the entry “white elephant” be removed from all online and physical dictionaries. That phrase, of course, refers to something that is both expensive and useless.

I am deeply offended by that phrase. And it’s not because I’m white. It’s because I am, in fact, an elephant.

Actually in the “King and I”, in Siam a white elephant is a wonderful omen.

Who knew the King of Siam was so butt-kissing to white people?
