To always act in your own self-interest, pulling every situation toward personal gain regardless of how it affects everyone else. A classic image from Spanish: fanning the embers toward your own sardine while others go cold. The go-to phrase for describing someone transparently selfish in negotiations or group settings.
“Everything he proposes just benefits himself, he never thinks about the team.”
“He is very skilled at steering every negotiation to his own advantage.”

Parné
Money, cash, dough. The Spanish slang "parné" comes from Romani Caló with the same meaning and was popularized through coplas and flamenco lyrics throughout the 20th century. It carries a distinctly Andalusian flavor and remains perfectly alive in everyday expressions like "no tengo parné" or "el parné manda."
