#Okay, I never realised #ok had such a disputed list of proposed #etymologies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OK#Proposed_etymologies
Seems the three most accepted ones are:
— early #Boston #fad of intentional #misspellings ('Oll Korrekt' and its predecessor OW, 'Oll Wright'), combined with a presidential campaign by #MartinVanBuren, whose nickname was #OldKinderhook.— Derived from words used by #Choctaw (#Chahta) and other #NativeAmerican people, such as 'okeh' or 'hoke'.
— #WestAfrican 'waw-kay', or 'o ke'.
