«اِلْوِش وِشِّ الدِّيكْ وِالْحَالْ مَا يِرْضِيكْ»

The saying mocks someone whose face is thin, bony, and plain, like a rooster's narrow head, and whose overall state is just as unappealing. The rooster image here means a pinched, unattractive face, not pride, strutting, or alertness.

It is a judgment of complete decline rather than a single flaw. The speaker presents someone wasted and unattractive from top to bottom, a sorry sight with no redeeming feature.

Used teasingly or scornfully about someone who looks gaunt and unattractive and whose whole state seems poor. It is an open, personal insult that can wound if said of a real person, so it suits only blunt or joking talk among people who tolerate such remarks.
