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.

Get the quid pro quo mug.
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…”
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…”

Get the Quid Pro Quip mug.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 quo’ expectation... I haven’t gotten anything from this dude. He didn’t seem like a ‘Quid-Pro-No’!!!!

Get the Quid-Pro-No mug.What folks are saying about Clarence and Ginni Thomas’ shamelessly profiteering Supreme Court decision-for-sale antics.
Oh Clarence, how can the public even think for a minute that we are taking bribes for access, that what we’ve done is a quid pro no-no?

Get the quid pro no-no mug.When you shag someone for around half a second, the equivalent of paying a London prostitute £1 for a shag

Get the quid mug.`arf-quid means half-quid. It is not untranslatable "old-speak", it is simply eye dialect. A "half-quid" is half a quid. A quid is slang for a pound sterling, analogous to the use of "buck" to refer to a US dollar.
"Here's you a-comin' and arskin' of me questions about my business, and I that grumpy-like that only for your bloomin' `arf-quid I'd 'a' seen you blowed fust 'fore I'd answer."
"An' when you said you'd report me for usin' of obscene language that was 'ittin' me over the 'ead; but the `arf-quid made that all right."
