A
special privilage given to one
person by another, normally in exchange for
information or as an apology. Allows the holder of the proverbial 'anything' to be granted anything they like, without limitations.
Person 1: Please tell me what she
said - I'll trade you an anything.
Person 2: An anything,
hey? I want you to take me out to dinner, then.
Person A: I'm so
sorry that I forgot to pick you up. I'll make it up to you - I'll do anything.
Person B: Sounds like a fair deal to me.
