- hand it out64%
Old British underworld and criminal slang meaning to harm or kill someone — to deliver violence as casually as handing something over. The euphemistic framing is darkly ironic; handing something out sounds almost generous, which makes the violent meaning hit harder. Like many criminal slang terms, it was designed to be understood in-group while sounding innocuous to outsiders.
