origin

• Folk etymology: "O.K." (aka "okay") originated with US President Teddy Roosevelt, when his staff would inquire to him "How's everything today?", he would reply "Just like at Old Kinderhook." Old Kinderhook was a camp that he had attended during his childhood with great memories. After a while, it was abbreviated and became the buzzword regarding the status of everything at the Oval Office when things were good or running smoothly.

noun

• acronym for 'Oriental Male', 'Oriental Man', 'Orientalid Male' or 'Orientaloid Male'. This denotes a Brunet male from the Orient (including the Greater Middle East, Far East and Slavic East). In contrast to the NM or Blonde Nordic Male from the Nordic West and the BM or Black Male from the Dravidian Peninsula and Sub-Saharan Africa.
  
  It is considered far more scientific than the kindred but inaccurate abbreviation 'AM' which stands for 'Asian Male' or 'Asiatic Male', as 'OM' includes the non-Asian yet Orientalid Maghrebis.

  Hasheeda: Why are you going out with Rashid? I thought you only liked NMs and BMs?
  
  Sayyida: I am thinking of settling down with a nice OM now.
