quid pro quo

this for that; tit for tat (obsolete, but still used by older people); "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours"; usually used in legal exchanges with attorneys each giving something to settle a case.

The "quid pro quo" in the divorce was that the wife would get the house and the husband would get the cottage on the lake.

Quid Pro Quip

Derived from the Latin phrase “Quid Pro Quo” (this for that), Quid Pro Quip is a style of conversation in which persons exchange witticisms or gibes.

Mom: “Get out of bed, John! We’re going to church.”
John: “Fuck no, I’m hungover.”
Mom: “Don’t you want to be a good Christian?”

John: “Shit mom…Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.”
Mom: “I will fucking end you if we have to go quid pro quip on a Sunday morning…”

Quid pro crow

A form of benevolent sexism in which a boss offers sex to an employee in exchange for work-related benefits, such as a pay raise or promotion, but instead places 50 or more crows in the employee’s office the next day.

Person 1: “Did you hear that ‘Beckie’ in HR found 50 crows in her office on Monday morning?”
Person 2: “Oh no that’s terrible!”
Person 1: “Absolutely! I think ‘Mark’ offered her sex in exchange for a raise.”
Person 2: “Oh my! He tricked her with quid pro crow!”

Quid pro bono

Where a service is provided on its face pro bono (without payment), but the length of time spent and the complexity of the service means it is likely there is a quid pro quo settlement of the debt occurring somewhere quietly in the background.

The lawyers were acting for the defendant pro bono, but people suspected that it was actually a quid pro bono arrangement as there was no way the lawyer would work for that guilty defendant for free for so long.

Quid-Pro-No

The opposite of ‘guid pro quo’: in which there is no (equal or any)return of similar value or action from person to person.

After the massive amount of financial help I gave him; with a ‘guid pro quoexpectation... I haven’t gotten anything from this dude. He didn’t seem like a ‘Quid-Pro-No’!!!!
