«اِلْجَنَازَهْ حَارَّهْ وِالْمَيِّتْ كَلْبْ»

The saying mocks lavish grief, ceremony, or devotion spent on someone who never deserved it. The funeral is 'hot' in the sense of heated, intense mourning and commotion, not physical temperature, while naming the deceased a dog reveals how little the honored figure is worth.

More broadly, it targets any gap between the size of a fuss and the merit of its object, deflating excessive praise, loyalty, or effort as energy wasted on an unworthy recipient.

A sarcastic aside for moments when people heap attention, tribute, or zeal on someone judged undeserving. Calling a person a dog is a strong insult, so aiming it at a real individual is offensive; keep it to informal, candid talk.
