Arrow

In English?

Se usa por ejemplo cuando yo parto el pastel y me quedo con el trozo más grande y para disculparme un poquito o para aligerar el peso de la acción, digo eso.

Is there a saying in English?

No conozco ninguno. He intentado encontrar algo parecido a "He who cuts the cake ..." y Google me da un par de páginas con "He who cuts the cake gets the biggest piece", pero también un par con "He who cuts the cake gets the smallest piece".

Pero, bueno, está claro que el que parte no debe repartir también
