Phrase: The lion’s share

The lion’s share means the most substantial part or portion of something.


If you consider a lion for a moment, this phrase makes perfect sense.

A lion does whatever the heck it wants to do, and if a lion wants to eat most of something, then a lion eats the lion’s share.

There’s no debating with a lion.
