This clue is a playful way of hinting at a type of wordplay called a pun. The phrase "Denial ain't just a river in Egypt" is a pun itself, as it humorously plays on the word "denial" sounding like "the Nile," a famous river in Egypt. So, the answer to this clue is PUN, which is a form of wordplay that exploits multiple meanings of words or similar-sounding words for a humorous effect.
