What does聽another one mean?
Started as a catchphrase by popular music producer and media personality DJ Khaled, another one is a humorous way of repeatedly asking for another of something.
Where does another one come from?
Another one became a popular trend on social media after DJ Khaled released his music video for 鈥淗ow Many Times鈥� in 2015. The video鈥檚 introduction features him flirting with several female admirers.

After DJ Khaled popularized the saying, another one became a humorous way of repeatedly asking for something. For example, one YouTuber used the phrase to prank a fast-food drive-thru worker in 2015. He ordered a bottle of milk, and then repeatedly said 鈥渁nother one鈥� to increase the number of milks on his order. The worker became frustrated, asking 鈥淪o how many do you want, sir?鈥� The YouTuber responded 鈥渁nother one.鈥� The video now has over 13-million views.
