A White Elephant is an object that has high maintenance costs and no practical use. The phrase comes from East Asian Burmese culture. White Elephants were highly regarded and expensive to keep. If the local King was dissatisfied with one of his subjects he would give him a white elephant. The recipient could not give away a gift from the King and would be financially ruined with the upkeep of the animal.
