when you are playing a fighting game and you suddenly, and violently lose, even though you were one hit away from victory. As seen frequently in the street fighter series.
guy 1: aargh, I've been fighting M. Bison for 20 minutes now, how can he keep winning???
guy 2: He's famous for being a one hit wonder.....

My new term to refer to the Pokemon Shedinja. It has only one hit point. The only thing that stops it from losing is it's ability, wonder guard, which means only moves that are super effective against it can actually hit it sucessfully.
A one hit wonder may seem cool, but it is no where near as good as having a pokemon with ton of hit points.

When smoking weed, often times you find people are stingy about sharing the pipe/j/bong/blunt. For this reason, there is the "one hit and quit" rule. It's pretty self explanatory, you take one hit, and pass it to whoever's next. Some variations of this can be the "Three hits then quit"

One-Hit wonders are those n00bs that think they are turnt-up after one hit of weed for the first time.
*takes one hit of weed for the first time* "Oh my god I'm so HIGH!!!"
"You're a One-hit wonder"
"look at all these One-Hit Wonders pretending they are high"
"You're a One-hit wonder"

When a so-called band makes a song that appeals to the mind-warped 12 year old. This song only stays popular for about 15 minutes, and after the band is so rich they can wipe their asses with a 20 dollar bill.
