Favorite Answer
The real Cleopatra was the known as the Queen of the Nile (River).
or
Queen of Denial (as in a woman who won’t admit to something)
it’s a play on words
Whose edge is sharper than the sword, whose tongue
Outvenoms all the worms of Nile, whose breath
Rides on the posting winds, and doth belie
All corners of the world.
—William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616), “Cymbeline”, Act 3 scene 4
As for the pyramids, there is nothing to wonder at in them so much as the fact that so many men could be found degraded enough to spend their lives constructing a tomb for some ambitious booby, whom it would have been wiser and manlier to have drowned in the Nile, and then given his body to the dogs.
—Henry David Thoreau (1817 – 1862)
example: if you knew someone that had cancer but was saying they werent goin to die, you could say denial isnt just a river in egypt
meaning their in denial that their dying
Pronounced like duh nile
