Australian colloquial use, meaning to unilaterally give responsibility for a problem to someone else. Comes from Australian Football, where the "handball" is the fastest legitimate way to dispose the football. The receiving player gets no protection if they receive a handball, they are subject to immediate tackle. Often when players are about to be tackled they desperately handball to a teammate, solving their immediate problem but often putting the receiving player in the same difficulty. Where the receiver is put in physical danger, it is a "hospital handball". Also known as the "hand pass".

The sublime art of inserting a hand into the anus, gradually becoming more popular thank god :-) also known as fisting. Involves slowly penetrating the anus using lots of lubricant until the wrist has passed the sphincter, at this point the hand will form a fist or ball inside the rectum, more advanced players proceed into the anal passage and can insert the arm even beyond the elbow in some cases, but this requires years of practice and great trust in the top. Unfortunately much doping is practiced in this sport.
We are having a handball session tonight want to give us a hand?
