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.

egyptian two-step

A phrase to show that someone is completely clueless. The Egyptian two-step in when a male exits the bathroom after urination but forgets to zip his fly, such that his junk swings to one side with a right step, then swings to the other with a left step. The male is totally clueless that this is occurring.

Did he realize that he just misfired the weapon in the wrong direction? No? Have him do the Egyptian two-step over to do some push ups.

Whale

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.

"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
