The verb popełnić has usually been associated with some misdeed: eg popełnić oszusto, wiarołomstwo, samobójstwo, etc. Coupla years ago I heard a Polish teenager say "muszę popełnić wypracowanie". Was that a slip of the tongue (przejęzyczenie), youth slang or acceptable standard Polish?

Ironic. Similarly, you hear sometimes "popełnić małżeństwo".

Polonius3: Coupla years ago I heard a Polish teenager say "muszę popełnić wypracowanie". It is slang and popełnić means do or buy -Chłopaki zobaczcie co Piotrek popełnił. -Wow, wypasionego nowego paska (vw passat)

'popełnić' means also 'to write a piece of literature', for example "popełniłem ten wiersz po dwóch piwach"
