Trading Quids

A secret "handshake" used by several shadowy societies in Britain concerned with the reestablishment of the Empire, especially in North America.
Person 1: Sir, would you like to exchange quids with me?
Person 2: I do not understand to what you are referring.
Person 1: Ah, my mistake.
Person 3: Excuse me, I could not help but overhear your proffer of trading quids with that fellow. I would be happy to trade quids with you.
Person 1: Ah well in that case, kind sir, please take this quid and also this secret parcel as a gesture of my good will.

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!”

`arf-quid

`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."

Quid Pro No

A deceptive workplace maneuver in which an employee is offered a favor or opportunity (typically a job or promotion) by their boss under an implied quid pro quo—but instead of reciprocating the “quid” directly, the employee skips the middleman and delivers the “quo” to the boss’s boss.
When Dave hinted that Rachel could get the senior manager role if she helped him “off the record,” she pulled a classic Quid Pro No—she took the quo straight to the VP and walked out with the promotion and left Dave with blue balls and self doubt.
