Context, it is the "K" of Emojis, acceptable as quick response, insulting in any serious conversation

Okay is one of the coolest words ever. It started sort of as a "meme" speak thing around 1900 (I don't remember exactly, may have been older). They would take phrases then spell them differently then abbreviate the misspelling. So okay the word was originally OK the acronym for "oll korrect" which was "all correct."

A similar thing would be like saying "acey" for "AC" for "all correct". I've thought about trying to make it a thing with my friends but it feels a little too abstract.
