Hannibal Lecter used the phrase in the Silence of the Lambs, a sinister tale starring Anthony Hopkins, and Jodie Foster

"Quid Pro Quo" is Latin, meaning it's been around for ages. Long before Hannibal Lecter used it in the film. You young people are funny!

Player #9431274, Very little knowledge is pure. Knowledge usually develops from historical forces, which are rarely pure. In addition, you are not the only player in this game. Other players come here for their form of enjoyment, which is equally valid to yours.

Player #9431274, Then don't read the comments section; that is your right. Others have the right to state their political, religious, or other opinions, as per game rules. Move on.

Italian here, literally means "here instead of there", i.e. something instead of something else. In colloquial Italian, the expression is used in the meaning of misunderstanding or to indicate an exchange of person or things as well. We tend to use "do ut des", instead of quid pro quo.

Player #11503902, no such thing as a good politician, a good statesman possibly.

Player #9431274, you're not hearing anything, but choosing to read someone's comments. You can also choose to NOT read them.
Surely you are not saying that ppl can only write what you want to hear.
