How it's used
Implies a social or professional connection where one person is in a position to share opportunities or advantages with someone they know. It carries a slightly informal tone, often used when asking a friend or acquaintance to help you get ahead or share a profit. It is distinct from simply helping someone, as it specifically focuses on the transfer of benefits or career advancement.
Examples
Thanks for looking out for me all this time.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with general help or assistance, as it specifically implies a benefit or profit is being passed along. It is not used for simple tasks like carrying bags or showing someone the way.
