Why do the US contingent of football types insist on using bizarre made up terminology?
One-time is borrowed from hockey, "lad". And you weren't the intended audience, so deal with it.

That said, the Canadian oafs on Fox Soccer Channel go really overboard with the hockey lingo. When they try to be clever with their voiceovers during the highlights, I just cringe. It's quite bad.
