The Elephant in the Room Inside U and I

Elephant in the room

Yesterday when thinking about the inner twin world, and in particular, as to why they don’t just  “come out” once and for all in a more obvious way, … instead of this secretive “coming out”.  My thoughts then turned to others who are aware (similar to myself, butt remain mum…, no one in my periphery speaks of the elephant in the room butt I,… why?!  

This morning while perusing wikipedia’s Deaths in 2026 site, this recent addition immediately stood out: 

Abomé l'Éléphant, 33, Ivorian singer and rapper, cardiac arrest

 Anassin Boris Médard (22 June 1992 – 18 May 2026)

The stage name Anassin chose is meaningful today, in an inner twin world sense where the last portion, l'Éléphant,  is a cryptic “elephant in the room”.  Butt what of the first portion of the name, Abomé?!  My research provided the following information

1. The name breaks down simply as:  Abomé: A name of African origin; and l'Éléphant: The French word for "the elephant."
2.  Abomey: The most widely accepted literal meaning of the name is "inside the moat" (from the roots abo, meaning "moat/fence", and mɛ, meaning "inside")
3. "Abomé" is a reference to Abomey, the historic capital of the Kingdom of Dahomey in West Africa
4. Abomey, or Agbome (sometimes spelled or historically recorded as Abomé) is a historic city in southern Benin. It served as the capital of the West African Kingdom of Dahomey

 As to #1 and 2 above, the stage name then translates as “fence inside the elephant” or “inside fence the elephant”…, or taking into consideration the English word “me” is similar to the above mɛ, the translation then becomes “the elephant inside me”… or more precisely “the elephant in the room is inside me”!!

Note from the Benin wiki page: 

• President	Patrice Talon

Note from Talon’s wiki page: 

 Patrice Guillaume Athanase Talon (born 1 May 1958)

His date of birth is meaningful… a cryptic “won May”, and “May won”… (in the personal sense, May is  my first name).  Note as well the information sidebar of this blog where May 1 factors in a big “inner twin way”. 

Even though the idiom, Elephant in the Room, has been mentioned in a small handful of posts in this blog, I have never conducted a full investigation.  So here goes, beginning with its wikipedia page, note the following information on notable persons mentioned:   

• Ivan Krylov (13 February 1769 – 21 November 1844)

We have a “February 9, 10,__, …13/Date Sequence” pattern cluster in the works.  

In 1935, comedian Jimmy Durante starred on Broadway in the Billy Rose Broadway musical Jumbo, in which a police officer stops him as he leads a live elephant and asks, "What are you doing with that elephant?" Durante's reply, "What elephant?" was a regular show-stopper. Durante reprises the piece in the 1962 film version of the play, Billy Rose's Jumbo
