How it's used
Beyond the professional sense of managing a task or transaction, this term carries a specific, often blunt, connotation when referring to pregnancy. Using it to mean making someone pregnant is common in gossip or informal storytelling, implying a direct, personal responsibility for the outcome. It is rarely used in formal business settings unless emphasizing individual accountability for a specific project.
Examples
This business deal was handled by him.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe general tasks like cleaning or cooking, as it implies a level of authority or direct oversight. It is not a generic synonym for doing work, but rather for being the person in charge of a specific process or case.
