The expression "the elephant in the room" is often used to refer to an uncomfortable or awkward situation that everyone is aware of, but no one wants to talk about. In this case, the best way to be nice with the elephant in the room is to acknowledge it, talk about it openly and honestly, and try to find a solution that everyone can agree on. Being open and honest about the issue can help to create a more comfortable atmosphere, and can help to reduce any tension or awkwardness. It may also be helpful to ask for input from everyone involved, to ensure that everyone has a chance to be heard and to be part of the solution.
