«عَايِزْ جَنَازَهْ وِيِشْبَعْ فِيهَا لَطْمْ»

The saying pictures a person so eager to perform grief that he goes hunting for a funeral, any funeral, just to have a stage for dramatically slapping his own cheeks. The death matters little to him; what draws him is the chance to put on the display.

Applied more broadly, it exposes someone whose involvement in an affair is driven by love of the commotion and the attention it brings rather than real concern for the issue. It questions motives, suggesting the cause is merely a pretext for self-display.

Use it wryly about anyone, of any gender, who joins causes, disputes, or dramas mainly to make a scene and be noticed, such as a colleague who turns minor problems into crises to lead loudly. Teasing to mildly scornful; never aim it at someone genuinely grieving.
