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.

city chicken

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.

Are yinz havin' city chicken for dinner?

endwarfins

The rush of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides triggered specifically by watching the Seven Dwarfs march home singing "Heigh-Ho" — that particular high of pickaxes, whistling while you work, and communal domestic bliss in a cottage built for men half your height.

I only meant to watch the Heigh-Ho scene for the endwarfins, and then it was two hours later and I'd watched the whole movie.

Endwarfins aren't just a Snow White thing — I get the same hit off the Lollipop Guild in Oz.
