O.k Stands for....
 
[B][COLOR="Magenta"][FONT="Book Antiqua"][SIZE="4"]It is not an abbreviation, it is a complete word itself. Which means alright.[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/B]


Wikipedia:
"It does not stand for anything. It is a another word for alright, alright is the proper word for ok. So ok is just a word, it doesn't stand for anything, its nothing like lol or omg or fyi or btw or brb, Its a word and just a word."

Of the many competing theories about the origins of OK, the one now most widely accepted is that the letters stand for oll or orl korrect, a facetious early 19th-century American phonetic spelling of all correct, and that this was reinforced by the fact that they were also coincidentally the initial letters of Old Kinderhook, the nickname of U.S. president Martin Van Buren (who was born in Kinderhook, New York State), which were used as a slogan in the presidential election of 1840 (a year after the first record of OK in print).

1. The Greek words "Ola Kala" meaning "everything's good"
2. The acronym of the "comically misspelled" oll korrect
3. The Choctaw word okeh
4. The abbreviation for the state of Oklahoma turned into a popular catch phrase in 1866
5. The Wolof and Bantu word waw-kay or the Mande (aka "Mandinke" or "Mandingo") phrase o ke
