number one
The leading position
Number one is oneself, especially one's own interests: You've got to look out for number one.
It also means the top-ranked person or thing: They're number one in the country.
In children's language and euphemistic adult speech, number one is urination, contrasted with number two for defecation: Do you need to go number one or number two?
