What does gorilla in the room mean?

The statement is a mixed metaphor, coming from two diffrent idioms. One is 'the elephant in the room', refering to something, commonly a problem or a faux pas, that is so immense that it is impossible to overlook, thus making it glaringly obvious that people are deliberately ignoring it, pretending not to see it.

The other is built upon an old riddle: 'Where does an 800 pound gorilla sleep? Whereever it wants to.' That is to say, you cannot in any way stop or fight this force, commonly used to refer to powerful entities such as companies that have total or near-total monopoly, or government. They can do whatever they want, because there is no-one that can gain-say them.

Where can you find gorilla snot gel in US not including the internet?

Probably hard to do at a zoo. In the wild would be easier (as long as that's your expertise, of course). Knowing someone who works with gorillas would be easier, knowing a scientist who loves gorilla snot, or perhaps knowing a veteranarian, possibly from a zoo...who tends to gorillas needing help with some symptom or another... (you would more than likely have to know these people very well for them to take the trouble to get the snot (to make the gel)!!! Good luck!
