Answer 1

I'll give you a personal. easy definition.

The way the boy meant it was deal with it. In other words, he means put up with it, too bad, cope with what you're doing.Kind of considered slang.
ex.
Man: "I can't put up with this anymore!"
Child: "Deal!"

OR

He could have meant deal as in a bargain or arrangement for mutual advantage.
ex.
Man: "I'll give you a dollar if you water my plants."
Child: "Deal!"


Then again, there are many different meanings of the word deal: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/deal

I did not see the movie but I will attempt to answer your question anyway.

There are a few meaning for the word "deal".

1. Cards. When playing a card game, the dealer "Deals" the cards out to the players. In other words, he passes the cards out.

2. Agreement. If you are negotiating with somebody and you both reach an agreement, you have made a "Deal". If you are trying to buy a new shirt at a market where bargaining is accepted, you will go back and forth on the prices until you both reach an acceptable price and you buy the shirt. You made a "Deal" with the seller that you would pay X Dollars for that shirt.

In Business, you can use the word deal in such sentences as "I would like to deal directly with you" or "Can we make a deal?" or "I will deal with you later:.

3. Issue. Sometimes people get very upset over minor issues. As an example, if you really wanted the last ice cream bar in the freezer and somebody else ate it, would it be a big deal (issue) to you?

I hope that this was helpful!

Good luck!

Answer 3

I haven't seen the movie.

Deal has different meanings according to how it's used. If a child says "deal" they are probably talking about making an agreement about something. Example: "I'll make you a deal. If you win this game, I'll give you 10 cents."

And yes, "deal" is used in business also. Example: "They closed the deal after a week of negotiating."

Hope this helps. :)

Answer 4

Ever provided that i grew to become into little and til on the instant i've got continually referred to as my mum "Mummy" and my dad "Daddy". merely because of the fact they on no account replied to "mum"/"dad". and that's often caught, i think. same with my siblings, too. I swear each and every time my mom calls me at paintings, and that i answer asserting "hi, mummy", i'm getting the main strangest seems from my paintings colleagues. They continually discover that hilarious and oftentimes take the mic. and that i will easily see why it is humorous lol yet, it is on no account replaced, and that i doubt it is going to. mothers and dads will continually be Mummy and Daddy. And particularly because of the fact they gained't respond to something from their infants! : )

Answer 5

Chances are, he said it to mean "I agree!"
I would not use this when on business. It's rather informal. You most often hear people say, "Deal!" or "It's a deal!" when agreeing to something illegal or speaking to someone at their own status level.
