Hello Aluisio,

I´ve never actually heard about this expression,I don´t even know what it means.If you explain its meaning to us then there´s a good chance we´ll be able to help you.


Brazil has lots and lots of expressions like that.


best wishes!

See:

"João, muito egoísta, furou a fila sabendo que os bilhetes já estavam perto de acabar, ao ser questionado pela atitude mal-educada exclamou no mais alto tom:
- Farinha pouca, meu pirão primeiro! "

"It´s the law of the jungle"

It can be used like this; I used to know two other expressions but they aren´t common anymore.

Let´s wait for more sugestions.


Good luck!

A lot of people says it just for a excuse for its selfish way of life... I remembered a song of Guns N' Roses that says: "It's the jungle baby, you're gonna die...In the jungle, welcome to jungle"

[Breckenfeld]

My suggestion is:

"grab what you can and let the devil take the hindmost"


Bye!
