Have a good one
I know that the phrase "have a good one" is a leave of taking. And I have heard people say it during the day to mean have "a good day"; the word "day" is often omitted. Also, before someone goes on vacation people often say "have a good one" in this case the "one" would be a "vacation/break"... correct?
CLARIFYING QUESTIONS
1. Can I use "Have a good one" in the evening also in place of "have a good night/evening"?
2. Can I use it before someone takes a short or long break (as in a vacation)?
I would appreciate it if you would answer my questions.

'one' refers to whatever was mentioned earlier in the conversation. Only 'day' seems to be replaceable by 'one' when there is no previously mentioned noun and the context is leave-taking. CJ
