In slang, “handling this dude” means “dealing with this guy” — i.e., taking care of, managing, or defeating him. The exact sense depends on the context and tone:
- If it’s said in a confrontational way, it can mean beating him up or fighting him.
- If it’s competitive (like in a race or contest), it can mean outperforming or dominating him.
- If it’s more casual, it can mean managing the guy’s behavior or sorting out a problem he’s causing.
In Jason Reynolds’ Ghost, the phrase most likely means “dealing with” or “taking care of” the person in whatever situation the characters are in. If you paste the sentence or describe the scene around page 22, I can give a more specific interpretation.
