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!”

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 no-no

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?

Quo pro quid

Spanking your partner’s buttocks after being spanked by your partner
She gasped and smiled after he playfully spanked her, then she responded with a frisky quo pro quid on his backside.

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.
