Zero Killed. Do you know the story? I'll get it quickly and add it in a while...
I see Sweet Spanish Girl already has it, but here is my version copied and pasted:
~During historic civil wars, when troops returned without any
casualties, a writing was put up so all can see which read
"0 Killed". From here we get the expression "O.K." which means all is good.~

What does OK actually mean?

0 kill. when men were coming home from battlefields (in American civil war) the first person was carrying a sign that said 0 kill or 4 killed (depends how much men died that day).
so when it said 0 kill, they were happy and it looked like OK and they say "OK, woohoo they all survived, lets have a party, Timmy get some wine" lol.

Well, the origins of the term "O.K" or "Okay" are unknown. Some people think it originated as a "folksy" way of saying all correct. (Oll korrect) In WWI, the term was used to denote "0" (zero) kills sustained, signaling a good day. Even "Old Kinderhook" was used, which was the nickname for Martin Van Buren, and who didn't love him?

once I was taking an english language lesson and they told me that it came from a greek immigrand who was working at an airport...he was cheching baggage and was writting with chalk "ola kala" which means "everything good"...later for short he was using the first letters "OK"...but I don't know if there's any truth to that...

It depends, most of the time when I use it, I'm being sarcastic. Otherwise, I'll use sure, or yes, or in another sense, well.
