«اِلزِّيطَهْ وِالْعِيطَهْ عَلَى حِتَّهْ مخِيطَهْ»

The saying ridicules a great outcry raised over something of little value. The object of all the shouting is a mere scrap of a sticky tree once used to snare birds, not anything sewn or stitched, an item hardly worth anyone's attention, so the contrast exposes the noise as wildly out of proportion.

It targets both excessive concern for a trivial matter and open quarrels sparked by it. The speaker positions themselves as an unimpressed observer, implying that the participants have lost perspective and that their passion reveals more about their pettiness than about the worth of what they fight over.

Say it when people are loudly quarreling or making a fuss over something minor, to suggest the prize is not worth the noise. It works as a dry, mildly mocking aside to onlookers or to the squabblers themselves.
