Good one. What does it mean?
What's the meaning of "good one"? For example, if I take a picture of somebody and I think that's a nice picture, then can I say "good one"?

1- We simply use 'one' in the place of a noun or when we want to avoid repeating a noun (the plural form is 'ones'):
- 'I've got three bikes, but I like this ONE best. It's the fastest ONE'
'Yes, that's a good ONE'
- I wish you hadn't lost that photo. It was really a good ONE.
- Her reaction to the plan is basically a good ONE.
- I like the picture. It's really a good ONE.
- The students enjoy having her as their teacher. She's really a good ONE. ;)
2- 'Have a good one' and 'Have a nice one' are idioms used to mean 'Have a good morning, afternoon or evening':
Thank you. Have a good one.
See you tomorrow, John. Have a nice one.
3- It's a slang that means well-done. ;)

It can also be used as an exclamation of delight, approval, etc.; often used ironically: "Oh, good one! You great berk!"

If you are talking to those narrow minded teachers, you may be critized for grammatical mistakes. "GOOD ONE" is a slang, it doesn't need to follow the grammatical rules. If you are critized, you need to debate, tell them it is the slang.
Good one simply means well done

'good one' is a slang term for well done, congratulations, in response to what some one says to you.
Person A: I just passed my math exam.
Person B: Oh, good one.
