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…”

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?

`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."
