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

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?
