Reader's question: Could you explain “pick up the slack”? My comments: "Pick up the slack," or "take up the slack," is an American expression meaning "to do the work that someone else has stopped doing, but which still needs to be done." Examples: When Sue starts going to work, Bob and the kids will have to pick up the slack and help more at home. With our best player injured, other players picked up the slack. ** One of the definitions of "slack": A spell of inactivity or laziness Related stories:
