Tilt your head sideways and prepare to be amazed!
The origin of the word OK is with American president Martin Van Buren, who was elected in 1836. He would always say everything would be all right, everything would be fine, etc. His nickname was named after his birthplace, Old Kinderhook, New York. So, for short people called him O.K. This then became a substitute for what he stood for, everything will be alright, etc. and thus OK was born. Don’t believe folks who tell you that it is from Okay…
