Handling things
Answer:
ONIT
Hint:
Think of a phrase that means actively dealing with a task or responsibility, often used in work contexts. It starts with being "on" the job.
Explanation:
"Handling things" hints at the word "on" (meaning dealing with or in charge of) combined with "it" (a pronoun for objects or tasks). The answer "ONIT" plays on the phrase "on it," which casually means taking care of something or managing a situation. It’s a straightforward split where "on" + "it" forms a common expression for handling responsibilities.
