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!"

one-tripped

one-tripped (verb): To successfully complete a challenging, typically multi-attempt task or endeavor in a single try, especially when it was thought improbable or impossible.

"My brother one-tripped his driver’s license test: parallel parked on the first try, no corrections, no second chance. Mom still brags about it at every family dinner."

"I one-tripped assembling the IKEA dresser; zero missing screws, no cursing, done in under an hour. I deserve a medal."

"I one-tripped the final raid boss in Destiny 2 on my first clear. No wipes, no LFG drama, just flawless execution. The fireteam still calls me ‘One-Trip’ now."

One Bounce

A term typically used in asymmetrical horror games. Similar to a Juggernaut gamemode, One Bounce is when there is only one player in the survivor team and everyone else is on the killer team. The One Bounce gamemode is usually chosen through a special round at random. The survivor, often called The One Bounce, is buffed greatly with extra stamina and/or extra health, aiding them in surviving when getting jumped.

The term was first used in the roblox game BEAR (Alpha) where the survivor is given 300 stamina and is tasked to survive for around 2 minutes. It was then implemented in another roblox game called Die of Death where it became more popular. There the survivor is given 250 stamina and tons of HP and is tasked to survive 1 minute and 15 seconds (75 seconds).

Shit, looks like I'm The One Bounce this round. I gotta lock in.
