It's not a homeworlds term per se, so no worries there.
Pie is a shorthand for a type of rule that is used to divide a slice
of pie equitably -- one person divides it into two apparently equal
portions. The other person then decides which slice they want.
Therefore, "you cut, I choose" (or vice versa) rules are sometimes
referred to as "pie".
