Q is for Quid Pro Quo

#AtoZChallenge 2024 letter Q
Q is for Quid Pro Quo, which is a bit of a cheat since much of English comes from Latin but it's Q, which is always the tough day in the A to Z. But it is again an expression used in the original; it literally means 'something for something', translated now as the expression 'you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours'. 

Linking back to the A to Z Challenge.

  1. One of many nifty Latin expressions we commonly use in English.

  2. English is such a mongrel language and that's why it's so colourful.
