What does OK means?

Answer 1

Okay is a term of approval or assent, often written as OK, O.K., ok, okay, or more informally as simply kay, k or kk. When used to describe the quality of a thing, it denotes acceptability. However, its usage can also be strongly approving; as with most slang, its usage is determined by context.

The word "okay" is currently the single-most-used word on Earth, owing to its common employment in a vast number of cultures and languages.

There are several theories about the origins of this word, some of them apocryphal and none of them conclusive, although the suggested origin as an initialism of oll korrect has relatively widespread support. Whatever its origin, the word spread around the world, the "okay" spelling of it first appearing in British writing in the 1860s. Spelled out in full in the 20th century, 'okay' has come to be in everyday use among English speakers, and borrowed by non-English speakers. Occasionally a humorous form okey dokey is used, as well as A-ok.

Answer 2

O.K. started many years ago. There was this stupid little girl about three or four at that time. She lived in a large neighborhood with a lot of kids. It was long enough ago that it was still safe for kids to play outside basically unattended. Everyone watched all the kids. Like the "good old days".

This girl's name was Kay. She was always naughty or getting into something. Her mother and the other mothers were forever yelling at her, "Oh Kay, come here, don't do that!" "Oh Kay, give that toy back." "Oh Kay, go home!" "Oh Kay, don't hit him in the head".
She was yelled at so much that her name begin to sound like one word, kind of "O.K. Stop that!"
The poor thing was so messed up emotionally that as an adult she had to seek out professional help. After many years, her doctor some how convinced her that O.K. was O.K. and those nasty mean mothers meant just the opposite of what she thought they did. SO, from that time on O.K. was O.K.

She did eventually get married and had a baby boy. You don't want to hear what O.K. named him, do you? It's my dime, so you are going to anyway. She named him OH BOY. Then she got pregnant real soon and it wasn't planned, another boy. She named him OH NO.

O.K. I will stop now. It is really a long story. Oh Boy and Oh No had problems too.
