Your word isn't here yet

Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "OH" (as in "oh") + "neh" (as in "net") + the English word "shot" (same pronunciation)/

Meaning

To kill an enemy with a single devastating hit or shot in a video game. When you get one-shot you didn't even have time to react, you were dead before you understood what happened.

Examples

I got one-shot by the sniper, didn't even see it coming.

That character one-shots anyone, he's broken.
