In the USA it means to postpone, give up on (possibly temporarily) or to make someone else's problem or responsibility.
In other parts of the world it can mean to press on with, perhaps against the odds, or to take an aggressive/assertive course of action.
Might I suggest that people should be aware when using the term that it might be taken to mean the opposite of what you think?
