Carte blanche literally means "blank check." It is a term used when person A does a favor for person B and in return requests carte blanche (aka, a promised favor in the future.) Just like a blank check can be any amount, carte blanche could could be any range of favors.

carte blanc

term to describe the short-term separation of a set of lovers. when 'carte blanc' is called by either person, both of the people in the relationship are free to do whatever, and more so whoever, they wish. it is different from 'talking time off' or a separation, break-up, etc... in that the possibility of negative consequences are slim.

My girlfriend called carte blanc this week, so I can have fun fucking whoever I want, and she will do the same.

Carte Blanche

A situational term. This can take place in either a home with multiple roommates or an office with several coworkers. The first roommate/coworker that goes into the bathroom in the morning to lay down the first dump of the day has "carte blanche". Meaning that he/she has a blank canvas to do his work on and therefor set the tone for the day's defacation.

Keller ate tacos last night, I'm glad I got into the office early this morning to get the carte blanche.
