In Siam, now Thailand, if the king wanted to reward a nobleman who he held in low esteem he would give him a white elephant. The white elephant was a sacred beast and must be kept in suitable state; this involved considerable expense. For this reason the gift could neither be refused nor disposed of. Hence the term 'white elephant' as we use it today.

This white elephant howwever will not cause the recipient undue expense and will not knowingly embarass anyone receiving it as a gift.
