    Oll Korreck

    Wikipedia quoting Allen Walker Read: The abbreviation fad began in Boston in the summer of 1838 … and used expressions like OFM, “our first men,” NG, “no go,” GT, “gone to Texas,” and SP, “small potatoes.” Many of the abbreviated expressions were exaggerated misspellings, a stock in trade of the humorists of the day. One predecessor of OK was OW, “oll wright.”
