O.K is a shortening of 'okay'. It can mean something is good, like a good idea. Or that the person speaking is alright, if someone has just asked.

In the American Choctaw Indian language, there is a word okeh, which means "it is so". It is likely (although I can find no hard evidence) that this word was used in some American communities in the early 19th century. There is a report that Andrew Jackson, during the Battle of New Orleans in 1815, learned of this Choctaw word, liked it, and used it.
