Deals with it
Handles is the plural of handle—the part of an object you grip to move or operate it: door handles, knife handles, shovel handles.
A handle is also a name or nickname, especially online: What's your handle on Twitter?
To handle something is to manage or deal with it: She handles customer complaints.
If you fly off the handle, you lose your temper suddenly.
Love handles are informal for the fat around someone's waist.
