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 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 quo

Where two or more people receive an equal-size measure of baccy-chew.

I can respect nicotine-wad-chomping buddies' wanting to "share and share alike" by practicing quid pro quo, but surely there are less disgusting --- not to mention less hazardous to your health --- ways to display fairness of mind???

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!”
