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.
