| Text | In this podcast, the phrase "to one up" means to do something better than another person can, raising the competition to the next level, or to beat someone at something: "The twins are extremely competitive and always try to one up each other with their professional accomplishments." The phrase "to have had one too many" means to be drunk and under the influence of alcohol: "I think you've had one too many. Give me your car keys." The phrase "one-off" means happening only once, not as part of a series: "Is this a one-off presentation, or a monthly event?"
