One Time

1. The fuzz. The heat. The popo. The constabulary. The police. Look one time, don’t look twice, they are gonna pull you over for looking suspicious.

2. A phrase uttered for good luck, often in poker or other casino gambling. The origin of this phrase is from the movie “Little Giants” when the coach gave his speech to his team of misfits to get them excited for a game with long odds. It means even if the odds are 99 times in 100, that still leaves “one time.”

1 Driver: one time ahead, don’t look back
Passenger: *looks twice*

One time: *flashes lights*

Driver: what did I just f***in tell you.

2 poker player 1: All in.

Player 2: call. I have queens.

Player 1: I have AK of hearts. Good luck.

Player 3: i folded Q/10.

Flop 9,2,6 hearts.

Player 2: damn, I’m in rough shape.

Turn: 2 spade
Player 1: don’t do this to me dealer!

Player 2: dealer, can I use my one time now?

River: 6 of spades.

Player 2: Nice hand. Goodnight.

Player 1: 99 times baby

Canadian slang for "Bye", "Take care", etc. more specifically used in the city of Ottawa. It can be used in various contexts, whether you're leaving a place, ending a conversation, or saying farewell to someone who is departing.

Could be shortened to just, "One".
Also written on text sometimes as, "1t".

1: "I'ma head out, bro, one time, fam"

2: "Alright, one time, holla at me"

One time

I worked in south central L.A. in the late 80s. The drug dealers would give some of the local kids money to stand on the corner to watch for the police. If a patrol car turned off of Central on to one of the side streets the kids would yell out "one time or two times" depending on how many patrol cars were coming. More than one coming usually meant somebody was going to get jammed up. The youth grew up hearing the police referred to as "one time." It was common for the local youth to greet law enforcement with the phrase, "what's up one time." It wasn't meant or taken derogatory. Just part of the culture.

"What's up one time!"

Amongst other terms, the polite thing to yell when you see a cop cruising around, especially slowly.

"One-time! One-time!" (Then walk briskly in the opposite direction.)
