«عَمْيَه وْعَرْجَه وِكِيعَانْهَا خَارْجَهْ»

The saying sketches a figure who cannot see, walks with a limp, and is so wasted by thinness and sickness that the bones at her elbows jut out. Each added detail stacks another affliction onto the last, building a picture of total physical misfortune.

Though its grammar is feminine, it is applied to anyone in whom numerous bodily defects are gathered together. The force lies in accumulation: one flaw might be overlooked, but the expression piles them up to stress that nothing about the person's physical condition is spared.

Historically used as a blunt, mocking description of someone whose body seems to collect one flaw after another, such as blindness, a limp, and visible gauntness. It mocks disability and illness, so modern use can easily seem cruel; reserve it for quoting or discussing the expression, not describing real people.
