denial is a river in egypt

Popularized on TikTok, implying someone is in denial. This phrase is referring to a clip of Wendy Williams on a radio show, where she says to a caller “denial is a river in Egypt, your husband is gay.” The joke is that Wendy recited the saying incorrectly.

The real saying is “denial is not (just) a river in Egypt”: A humorous phrase used to highlight the fact that someone is in denial about something. (A pun on the colloquial pronunciation of "the Nile.")

“Denial is a river in Egypt”: Remember that time Wendy Williams said “denial is a river in Egypt, your husband is gay!” while live on air?

“Denial is not (just) a river in Egypt”: The boss thinks he can salvage this project by throwing more money at it. Someone should let him know that denial isn't a river in Egypt.

Bald Denial

A pathetic state in a man's life whereby he smugly attempts to conceal his baldness. Can come in many forms such as a comb over, comb forward, or outright refusal to conceal a despicable mange like mess. In extreme cases the man gets a hair transplant or worse uses finasteride and fries his chance of getting an erection. Best treatment is to accept the bald and shave it off

Look at that gimp with the translucent hair, you can see he is in absolute bald denial.

Pokemon Denial

When something is labeled as "uncool" and people suddenly pretend they don't know anything about it because they think it will make them look bad by association. Coined for people who deny knowing the names of ANY Pokemon, even if they spent several years of their childhood memorizing every single one from the first games.

Alternatively, can be used to describe someone who makes fun of someone else for knowing something that they themselves know, but would not admit to because it's uncool.

Ex: When you use a pokeball in Super Smash Bros, say the name of the Pokemon out loud and your friends make fun of you for knowing it (even if it says its own name in the game).

I usually play as Charizard in Brawl.
Uh... Which one is Charizard again?
Dude, we used to play Red and Blue together EVERY DAY. I think you're in Pokemon Denial.

dental dick

noun , A co-worker who sucks dick over constant fear of
losing his/her job; a person who would perform sexual favors to get a job just because it has 'good' dental insurance.

-ing verb, The act of taking a low paying job for
dental and health insurance and taking comfort in the security provided by such 'good benefits'. People who take this types of job usually have studied engineering in college, and have a hard time understanding why they studied calculus instead of getting laid only to end up with the same crappy 50k/year job as the liberal arts major.

Mr. Lee is such a dental dick he'll be giving his manager gummies until he turns age 65 and can retire.

Data Loss Denial (DLD)

The mental states that a computer owner goes through when the only copy of data is lost. For instance, a hard drive that contains family pictures from the last 5 years which has never been backed up suddenly dies, the owner will go through several stages of denial that the data has been actually lost and cannot be recovered.

A classic case of Data Loss Denial (DLD):

"It was 230am. I had been staring at the clicking hard drive for 6 hours non-stop, as if my very retinal gaze would be able to pull the 700GB of lost JPGS back to life thru the steel sides of the hateful beast. I started to scream, then wail like a banshee from "LOTR part 5". "FUCK!!! FUCK FUCK!!!! FUCK ME!!!! FUCK ME!!!! DIE DIE DIE DIE!!!!!" I screamed over and over and over. The walls shook. The kids awoke in terror and cried. My wife grabbed the phone and started to dial 911. I wrenched the phone from her hands and screamed "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. YOU DON'T! That was 700 hundred FUCKING JIGGABYTES OF OUR LIVES!!!!!!!!! And now its GONE!!!!!!!". I grabbed the black metal rectangle of clicking death and ran downstairs. I started to throw it over the back fence. Then I stopped. I thought, hmmmmm, maybe, just maybe, if I hook it back to that SATA cable, just one more time?? And power cycle again? Yeah, that'll do it. Lets go try again....."
