I've seen her dehydrated sir, its pretty gross.

What it means

The speaker claims to have seen someone in a dehydrated state, then describes it with blunt disgust. Addressing the listener as 'sir' gives this casual remark a small note of formality. The contrast makes an unpleasant observation sound oddly like an everyday report being offered.
