OK, I know I haven’t updated this in a while. To be honest I’m too busy at the moment revising while listening to DRE rapping about how to be a “low-rider”.
Today I took my new (used) car for a practice spin round the hood (need to listen to some different music) and it was pretty sick, nice view at the “beach”, and got to just chill out cruising along some the best of the UK’s roads.
Anyway got to get back to politics revision… might come in useful one day.
OK, just got back from my American trip, and have to say: out of everywhere in DC, Arlington Cemetery was definitely the most beautiful, and thought provoking place I visited there. The picture speaks for itself…
OK so just joined Tubblr, and need something interesting to talk about. I started this post with “OK”, but most of you (because you never went to a private school) don’t really know much about the origins of words, so I’ll tell you a little bit about where the term “OK” originates from.
contrary to popular belief OK isn’t an English word, its used in Italian, and French, as well as many other languages. But unlike many words shared by those languages, isn’t derivative from Latin like i.e. (id est). Rather, to my understanding the use of OK, to portray everything being fine, came about as a result of WW2.
Once the allied invasion had commenced across Europe, many soldiers were being killed, AKA K.I.A. If an operation went smoothly however the officers would report 0 deaths, O K.I.A, this was eventually shortened to O K, and thus the term became synonymous with everything being alright.
