“And one” is a slang term that is often used to express agreement or affirmation in a casual conversation. It is known to be used mainly in African American Vernacular English (AAVE) or urban culture.
This slang term is derived from basketball, where players aim to score a basket while being fouled by an opponent. If the player successfully makes the basket despite being fouled, they are awarded an additional free throw, referred to as the “and one.” Therefore, in slang, “and one” is used to imply that something is confirmed, agreed upon, or validated.
Examples:
1. Person A: “Hey, I think we should all go out for pizza tonight.”
Person B: “And one! That sounds like a great idea.”
2. Friend 1: “Did you see that new music video? It’s fire!”
Friend 2: “And one! The choreography was on point.”
