Hi Girls..
I think that the origin of ‘OK’ has been one of the most popular
subjects in etymology and there are many theories about it.
Anyway I found this while I was surfing the internet and wanted to share it.
‘I’m OK means ‘I’m fine’. But if you say the weather’s OK in a lazy drawl, it could mean 'so-so'. When you respond with an OK at the end of someone’s explanation, you could be saying, ‘Alright, I get what you’re saying’. And when someone explains that ‘This is the way to do it, OK?’ it means, ‘Have you understood?’
One abbreviation, many meanings. And like all delightful accidents of history, the origin of this multi-faceted OK seems to lie in a humourous misspelling of the words ‘all correct’ as ‘orl korrect’, approximately 170 years ago, in the US.
Many other explanations have been put forth, such as the Greek ola kala ('it is good'), and the French aux Cayes , ('from Cayes', Cayes being a Haitian port known for its good quality rum). Some have also wondered if OK originated from the initials of Obeidah Kelly, a railway freight agent who wrote his initials OK on the documents that he had checked!
Who knows!!! :29:
