0 Hmm. Well, in my experience, it means "I'll do the extra work that will be required." For example, you are part of a four-person team, but one of them has an illness in the family and must take some time off. The others on the team say "Go be with your family. Don't worry - we'll pick up the slack." It's often used in business when you have to work short-handed and the others have to work hard
