Lo que esbribiste me muestra que entiendes la esencia del dicho.
En inglés decimos dish the dirt que significa puede hablar mal a alguien. Entonces alguien que puede dish it but can't take it. es alguien que habla duro pero le da rabia cuando otra persona le habla duro a el/ella..

the nearest I can think of it's
"Él puede driticar pero no ser criticado" or "Él puede criticar pero no recibir críticas" but I don't know if it's a proper idiom. saludos |
