Even 'okay' or 'O.K.', from which 'okey-dokey' is derived, is slang. There is supposed to have been an early American president who was not very well up on spelling, and when he checked documents, if he did not spot any errors, he would mark them 'Oll Korrekt' (for 'All Correct'). Eventually, he abbreviated it to O.K., and other people picked up the usage. I think it may have been Martin van Buren, but I'm not sure.
(Wow, did Spellcheck have trouble with this one!)

Okidokie is in fact a traditional English rural dance performed by men on April 1st around a crab-apple tree. It was a fertility dance but not performed by women, if you know what I mean. It was first recorded in the 1500's when it was known as the Ekidokio but has become corrupted over the centuries. There is a famous painting in the National Gallery showing it being performed.

It means ( from old american ancient tribe- apache commonly used by apache tribe -private signal between apache male and female --used as secret code word -because it was frowned upon by the elders to speak openly about sexual desire ) I Love you and I am ready to make love. I'm waiting. it was common for the warrior going into battle to say to his women okidokie usually the night before battle. The female was known to tease the apache male by okidoki at the most akward times causing the male to have an intense erection during the most sacret ceremonies, causing the mighty warrior to go forget why he was there in the first place. It was a method to make the final moment an incredible climax between the female and the warrior.

Yes it's English. I think it came from "okay, doctor", you know when the doctor gives an instruction, it's the patient's way of saying "I got it doc". Then it becomes an idiomatic expression used in any conversation wherein you wanna tell someone "ok, I got it". :)

It means OKAY. It's just a colloquialism, like A.O.K. which is the same. both mean the same thing. Yes they are in essence forms of English (American English), since English come in many forms.

It's not a word. It's just slang for okay.
