The origin of this popular verb form probably dates to U.S. troops during the Second World War. When a department was on duty, on his return had reported any losses in lives human. In the event that all soldiers had returned to base, the commander would report to his superiors by using the acronym OK as an abbreviation for zero killed, or "any (military) killed." The code has therefore begun to take on the significance of positive confirmation, the equivalent way of saying "anything goes".
In contrast, the term KO was born in the boxing world and is the abbreviation of the English form knock out, which means "out of action."
