French favor

An "obvious" --- i.e., easily recognizable with just a casual glance, and therefore does not need to be actually verbalized --- and comparatively-simple/minor assistive action dat someone requests merely by saying, "S'il-vous plait?"

Typical example of a French favor: Person A approaches Person B in his workshop and holds out two separate pieces of an item that have come apart, and thus need to be re-attached together with glue, one or more screws/nails, re-bending a wire fastener, etc.
Person A, a bit plaintively: "S'il-vous plait?"
Person B, immediately seeing what needs to be done, and smilingly feigning indignance: "Silver PLATES?!"
Person B then performs said simple repair, prompting Person A to gleefully hug Person B and then turn and start off again with a huge joyful grin on his face.
Person A: "Merci beaucoup!"
Person B, giving Person A an affable amused clap on the back: "Mercy buckets!"

Reverse Favor

When someone you know or don't know sells or gives you something as a "Favor" that is framed by them as a good deal being low priced or just free, but it's actually worthless to them or it is something that is a headache they must pay to rid themselves of it and by you taking it for free or buying it you are doing them the favor therefore making it a "Reverse Favor".

My buddy sold me his rare 1990s Japanese car for cheap but turns out it's got 298,000 miles on it, a cracked block, & a shot transmission from drifting. I guess it might've been a Reverse Favor because the scrap yard is charging me to get rid of it...

sis faz favor

Female (and feminist) version of "bro favor", from the Portuguese "se faz favor" (please). Means "do a girl a favour" in the spirit of "Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves".

"Sis faz favor, tell this weirdo I'm a cop, so he'll stop following me around".

crusty old favor

A favor asked of a younger person that Is not sexual in nature, but the recipient of the favor receives sexual pleasure from the act.

Mr. Olsen asked me to sweep off his porch again, but I think it was a crusty old favor. He was watching me handle the broom very intently. He makes me feel uncomfortable.
