Hand it over.

I know that the understood subject is: (you) and 'Hand' is the verb, but I do not understand the functions of 'it' and 'over'. I know that they are not part of a prepositional phrase.

Here's what I have so far.

(you) | Hand

I am reading a book about the "old west" with horses and chamber pots being the only clues to its time period. I think in those days, a man was addresses as "papa" or "father" and that the use of the word "dad" seems out of the period. My mother who would be 82 called her parents "Mama and Papa"

I have to listen to a "know it all" friend who always thinks he's always right and I'm curious to find out the answer to this question. I think it's silly to argue over grammar, but I'm curious as to what is right.... thank you.

why do people do this gesture when they are talking and when is it appropriate to use them? I feel that they are over-used which would lead me to believe that people rarely use them correctly.

I'm starting to see it everywhere now, especially on forums and sutff.
and does anyone know where it originated from?
I tried posting this on google, but it was to no avail.
The stupid 'greater than' sign at the front, affected the syntax hence the results displayed.
