one thing led to another

An excuse for why you cheated on your girlfriend/boyfriend or wife/husband/partner/significant other...

Most often used my rather sheepish looking men

We were just talking and then one thing lead to another...

One thing led to another

When you cheated on someone but you excuse it as something that "just happened" and you didn't want it to. It rarely works because you're a human being and you can control your actions.

Jake: Babe sorry we were just hanging out, I complemented her makeup, and one thing led to another, I didn't mean it

Mary: Yeah right, we're done Jake!

One thing led to another

While this is a sexual innuendo, it is often a misunderstood phrase by the naive and used as general cause and efffect.

The pastor suggested two people go out for prayer but when she used the phrase, “one thing led to another” the parties misunderstood and ended up taking things further then intended.

that one thing

Something just worthy enough to remember, but the exact title has been lost. Usually a great friend will understand without any further explanation.

James: "Do you remember when we did that one thing?"
Robert: "And you broke your leg but you wound up getting that nurse's number?"
James: "Yeah!"

for one thing

For a particular example

For one thing, the air was damp and chilly, and there was no sun.

For one thing, you must work harder.
