    The origin of OK is unknown, but there are many many theories. My favourite one is that it’s an abbreviated phonetisation of all correct - “ol korekt” based on some meme fad that people did at the time. Also apparently that was dock workers that were doing that, from which sailors caught it and they distributed it around the world.
