‘OK’ = ‘Och-Aye’. It must do. With the same meaning and sound, it seems impossible that Scottish emigrants to the USA were not the immediate originators of ‘OK’ into american culture.

Which raises the question, how many more Elephants in the Room? What else is draped everywhere about in plain sight waiting for us to open our eyes?
