In Reply to: No, it does not mean "eye for an eye". posted by Donnacha on June 03, 2002 at 23:33:05:

see if you say quid pro quo, it means the equvalent of eye for an eye. if you wanted to say your eyeball for an eyeball you would say oculus. but i belive just saying quid pro quo is the same as the english phrase of eye for an eye.
