Answer 1

From the Straight Dope- (Source - Internet)

Eric Partridge, in Origins (1983), says OK derives from the OK Club, which supported Martin "Old Kinderhook" Van Buren in 1840. That isn't wrong, but it's only half the story.

William and Mary Morris, in the Morris Dictionary of Word and Phrase Origins (1977), mention the OK Club and give several other theories as well, including the off-the-wall idea that OK comes from "Aux Cayes," a port in Haiti noted for its rum. They imply the matter is still shrouded in mystery.

Baloney. The etymology of OK was masterfully explained by the distinguished Columbia University professor Allen Walker Read in a series of articles in the journal American Speech in 1963 and 1964.

The letters, not to keep you guessing, stand for "oll korrect." They're the result of a fad for comical abbreviations that flourished in the late 1830s and 1840s.

Answer 2

It was during the Spanish-American war in the Philippines, when an American patrol came back from a mission and had had no one killed, they reported : 0 (zero) - KILLED.
This with time was shortened to :
0 K , that meant the same, as well as everything has been fine.
With time it became very popular and now its commonly used by all.

Answer 3

Actually, that's a good trivia question. The best answer I have been able to find for "O.K." , was a politial slogan for President Martin Van Buren in 1836. "Old Kinderhook " as he be came known, was due to the fact he was born and reared in Kinderhook, New York.

Hope this answers your question:)

Answer 4

I did.
