«بِيضِةِ الْفَرْخَهْ مُوشْ لِقِيَّهْ وِجُوزِ الْبِنْتْ مُوشْ خَبِيَّهْ»

Traditionally, the saying voices a stock view of in-law relations: a mother-in-law is not expected to treat her daughter’s husband as a cherished prize. It presents coolness or a lack of affection between these family members as ordinary rather than surprising.

Its two halves work in parallel. An ordinary hen’s egg is too common to count as a lucky find, and the son-in-law is likewise denied the status of something precious kept close. The comparison reflects a stereotype, not a judgment about real families.

Used for remarks about the stereotypically cool bond between a mother-in-law and her daughter’s husband. Because it generalizes negatively about family roles, it can sound insulting or hurtful when directed at actual relatives; use it with care and avoid applying it to a specific person.
