English colloquialism for " à pendre et à dépendre" ?

[Joel S. Berson]

A recent message (on another list) suggests another sense for "spend":

Vous pouvez absolument disposer de moi
[The writer] hadn't thought of this nuance of
'spend' - that is, rather than suggesting that
you are a good enough friend to spend WITH, you
are a friend available to be either hung or
spent: "I am yours to hang or to spend", that is,
to dispose of as you will. All this depending
largely on the sound value of the two similar
words, which provides a link beyond the strict grammatical construction.
