Quid Pro Quo
The term quid quo pro is from the Latin meaning "something for something". In its more casual uses it generally refers to a roughly equal exchange of goods or services. It can also be used to mean such phases as "a favor for a favor" or "give and take". From a legal standpoint, the term denotes that an item or service has been traded for something of value. A more negative connotation of the word involves bribery or blackmail. In England the phrase can simply mean "What's in it for me?".
