to do things right/correctly/the way they are supposed to be done/ when they they are supposed to be done the first time around, so as to avoid either having to redo the same job twice or suffering other unpleasant consequences (such as literally not paying your actual bills on time and having to pay late fees).
Father: listen, Carl. If I'd be your teacher, i would have reacted the exact same way. Just look at your penmanship. Ca laisse a desirer. I can't even , lol, call it handwriting, it would probably, immb qualify as turkey-chicken scrawl. Now the moral of the fable is of course to pay your bills on time. Now, take this travail bacle afaap out of my line of site and rewrite your homework.

A backronym for “tip” or gratuity. Tipping can be seen as a way of thanking a person for good services, so “thanks in pay” works pretty well.
The waiter was friendly and attentive, so I thanked him with a good tip.
Ah, so a tip is a thanks in pay!

Not to be confused with the shrewdly-prudent and virtuously-responsible practice of diligently settling your bills "up front and in full" and therefore carrying a zero balance (i.e., your "principle") on your credit card each month to avoid interest-fees, this term refers to the decidedly UNWISE and UNFAIR act of BRIBING (i.e., "paying off") the head-honcho at an establishment of learning (i.e., the "principal"), so that he'll kiss-buttingly bow to your outrageous stipulations and/or preferentially pull strings on your behalf, often to the detriment of others in the school.
Probably Ethan Couch's absurdly-indulgent father initially tried to pay off the principal so that his spoiled-a** Little Prince could be coddled and given unduly-preferential treatment, but then when this failed, he upped the ante by threatening to buy the entire school just so that Ethan could be tutored the way HE preferred him to be.

gay for pay describes male or female actors, pornographic stars, or sex workers who identify as heterosexual but who are paid to act or perform as homosexual professionally.
In the gay pornography industry, that uses amateurs as well as professional actors, the term gay-for-pay refers to actors who identify as straight but who engage in same-sex sexual activities for money or sexual gain. Some actors who are actually gay or bisexual will be marketed as straight to appeal to the "allure of the unattainable," because straight men (or those newly coming out) are virgins to sex with other men.

scholar Camille Paglia declared that Seduction of straight studs is a highly erotic motif in gay porn. Therefore, "gay for pay" is an evergreen concept/genre.
