What is the meaning of "on this one"?

English Language & Usage Asked on December 5, 2020

Would you be so kind to explain the meaning of the phrase "on this one" please.

A little story:

A man had a lot of tasks in a school, but he didn’t do them properly. He made a mess of them.

Another man said: "Follow me on this one."

In this context does "on this one" mean "Now (from now on) you should do it as I tell you", or does "on this one" = now?

One Answer

"on this one" is synonymous with "in this matter (that we are considering)".

"You don't know the way through the maze? Follow me on this one."

"Making onion soup? Follow me on this one"
