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.
