«زَي سُلْطَانِيِّةِ الْمِش كُلِّ سَاعَهْ فِي الْوِش»

The saying describes someone you would rather not see who is nonetheless always around. Just as a bowl of aged, long-stored cheese sits before diners at nearly every meal, this person is constantly in plain view, not confronting you but simply always before your eyes, until the familiarity itself becomes wearisome.

The humor comes from comparing a person to a humble kitchen staple that is always on the table. It voices dislike rather than praise for loyalty or devotion, expressing irritation at an unwelcome presence that never lets up and implying the speaker would gladly have a break from it.

Use it to complain, often wryly, about a tiresome person who keeps turning up and cannot be avoided, such as a meddling neighbor or an unwanted hanger-on. It is pointed and mildly insulting, so it suits complaint among friends more than remarks addressed to the person.
