French term or phrase: la moitié de la patte
From business e-mail correspondence:

Donc j'ai jamais agréé que tu prenais la moitié de la patte.

I gather this is slang, as I can't find a translation for this that makes sense in the context.

Explanation:
No indication of the French-speaking country this is from - it surely can't be France, whilst a Canadian 'patois' may be the key.

Patte d'une portefeuille: coincidentally, the tongue or flap of a wallet.
