You've probably heard 'OK' thrown around constantly, but here's the thing—most people have no idea what those two letters actually stand for. It's one of those everyday terms that's become so common we stopped questioning it.

Hmm... OK, I knew this joke a long time ago, but indeed most people haven't thought of it.

Really? Do I still need to look up the etymology for OK? I thought it was just an abbreviation of okay. I've learned something new.

Well... I just want to ask, who the hell really cares what OK means? Anyway, just use it and be done with it.

I always thought OK just meant OK, and I never really thought about what those two letters actually mean... I've gained some new knowledge.
