The Scottish theory
We\'ve all heard the Scottish expression, och-aye. An author in the Nottingham Journal in 1943 suggests that OK is simply an adaptation of this expression. The Scottish expression derives from och, meaning an exclamation of surprise and aye meaning yes, and has been in existence since perhaps the 16th century.
och-aye that sounds like the right one, yet another great SCOTTISH INVENTION !
