originally and literally >>> taking seat by numbers,
but now, well
the meaning can be like "take credit for yourself" or "assume it's you we are talking about" or "I'm just expressing my opinion" or "I'm not trying to start an argument" or "...I'm not trying to provoke you". But, these are not as colorful as their Mandarin equivalents, but they get the meaning across.
