OKIE anglilicism derived from ok u okay, all right. There are several versions of the origin of dste acronym . The most plausible are that it comes from oll korrect, an incorrect way to say everything right. Another very valid is that during president Martin van Buren's candidacy graffiti and scratched with OK were made by the nickname Old Kinderhook with which they called him. I am OK was I am by Old Kinderhook, or I am a supporter of OK. From there it became I'm fine.
