OK means, "Ol's Korrect". (all's correct.) It was an intentional attempt to look humorously stupid by president James Madison. Have you seen History Channel commercials that say, "Coka Cola," is the second most recognized word in the world after, "OK".
I'm not sure what you're after with, "do". I don't want to be enkorrect
