a context sensitive gesture,
"have a good one" could mean have a good weekend.. said on a friday evening as we all go home,
or it could mean have a good easter holiday.. its just a context sensitive gesture , basically saying "have a nice time, see you again later!"

I do not know what you mean in that word or sentence because it is incomplete sentence.
But in connection with having sex other than your wife
Read this verse. from the bible.
Col 3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry
This also embodied on the 10 commandments of God - Thou shall not covet they neighbors wife.:
also read 1 Cor chapter 4, verse 11, Tim Chap 1 verse 10.

O.K ,Someone might be going out for the night and you say , have a good one, as in have a good night, so its usually something that they are doing, that you would say it for, as in have a good time

i started using the term when i began working in customer service. i would mix up the time of day, so i just began using the term "one". i always wondered why my cousin started saying it as well, and it wasn't until then that it made a little bit of sense.

Whatever you're about to start.
I was nightshift last night (going to bed in a minute or seventeen) and as he was on the way out and I was on the way in, one of my colleagues said 'Have a good one.' my response was 'I will.'

It's a day isn't it. Short-hand (although not very short) for "have a good day".

Day or night.
It is just a colloquialism for "have a good day/night."
