Useless stuff

Where can I dump these white elephants?

Where should I dump these useless garbage?

For example, at home 286 Computers are boring to use and a pity to discard. They sit there for several years. This kind of garbage is called white elephant. However, such a term is really rare. Even Americans may not know what white elephant means. But some people still use it like this. I once heard an old American say, The fountain is a white elephant. That means, this fountain is really useless.

Some old Americans will do so in front of their courtyards. A garage sale is to sell some items that are rarely used at home. Some people’s notices will say White elephant sale. If you don’t know that white elephant refers to useless things, you may find it strange. , why are some people selling white elephants? ^___^
