But the abbreviation fad didn't stop there. It mutated, so that the editors would sometimes use, not a proper abbreviation, but a cheekily misspelled one. For example, the phrase "No Go" might be abbreviated not as "N.G." but as "K.G.," just for fun. And so, on one fateful day (namely, March 23, 1839), the Boston Morning Post introduced us to O.K., printing:
...perhaps if he should return to Boston, via Providence, he of the [Providence] Journal, and his train-band, would have the "contribution box," et ceteras, o.k.—all correct—and cause the corks to fly, like sparks upward.
