quid pro quo

Where two or more people receive an equal-size measure of baccy-chew.

I can respect nicotine-wad-chomping buddies' wanting to "share and share alike" by practicing quid pro quo, but surely there are less disgusting --- not to mention less hazardous to your health --- ways to display fairness of mind???

quid pro quo

this for that; tit for tat (obsolete, but still used by older people); "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours"; usually used in legal exchanges with attorneys each giving something to settle a case.

The "quid pro quo" in the divorce was that the wife would get the house and the husband would get the cottage on the lake.
