Equivalent of sarcastic song “non ti preoccupare, l'importante è partecipare” among Italian football supporters Yes, they are definitely stating it sarcastically. |

Equivalent expression to Spanish “cutting by the healthy part” I am inclined to accept this one for the bounty, it seems "life over limb" is as close as we get to "cortar por lo sano". |

Equivalent expression to Spanish “cutting by the healthy part” I like it. It's an almost mirror of the Spanish expression. |

Meaning of “to pivot to do something” I think this goes in line with what the article later mentions: that the company that was acquired was used for their new expertise. |

“Saving on the parrot's chocolate is futile” This is very much the same in a company's finances than the parrot's chocolate is to household finances. Good one! |

basketball expression: “Plays with a lot of flair” I still don't know if people will usually refer to enthusiasm or to skills/ability/elegance. There are sports where one and the other don't mean the same. In actual fact, in many sports, people who are highly-skilled and elegant don't usually play very enthusiastically... |
