If you mean the origin of the "word" it means \n0(zero) Killed. It was used during the war and it was also symbolized with a thumb up.\nI've also heard that it comes from old English and O.K. were the initials for All Correct wich were suposed to be spelled Oll "Korrect" (O.K.). But the first choice is probably the korrect one.

Don't worry about your id. The id is the part of your personality that ensures that you get your most basic needs met. It's fine for babies, as they have no reason to care for the needs of others.\n\nNow that you've developed, and I assume that you have, as you typed the above statement which you tried to pass off as a question and are likely in the ego stage of your development.\n\nAccording to Freud, your next stage is called the super ego. That's where you'll gain a moral stance in the world and actually be able to ask a question in question form.

What is the English identity? Is it the same as it was a generation ago? A century ago? Surely a nation's character is in a continual state of flux and evolution? I don't think there is anything to worry about, this is business as usual for a healthy country.

This one is not easy.. For one idea, go to the URL below:\n\nhttp://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-jaz1.htm\n\nHOWEVER. I think of all the possibilities, the origin of the word "jazz" is probably that which is traced back to a vulgar term used for sexual acts

Freedom \nThis comes from German (literal, modern-day translation, "Freiheit"), but is actually closer in derivation to the German word "Friede", which means "peace" and is a word of pre-Christian, Germanic origin (originally "Frith"). The archaic term was used to signify the period following the termination of a bloodfeud between two Germanic clans when the softer, feminine qualities of the god "Freda" or "Frita" held sway. To achieve such a peace, some consideration had to given up on the part of the clan whose member had committed the most recent wrong against another clan, such as a certain quantity of meat or animal hides. What was given up was called "Bot" (delivered good) or "Botschaft" (literally delivered shank (of meat), but currently is the modern German word for "message"). It is interesting to note that this is from where we get the English term "boat" (Apparently, as time went on, the term was used less to describe what was being delivered and more to describe the deliverer or means of delivery--Hence, the modern German words "Bote" (messenger) and "Boot" (boat--which can be visualized as a means of delivering something or someone)).

"I Am Who I Am" sounds more like Popeye to me....\n\nBut, I think that in the Bible you can find references to both Yaweh, and Jehova. I have also seen a passage that says "God... whose name is Jealous".

The acronym story is a complete fabrication from the middle of the 20th century.  It is completely false.\n\nThe word is the English cognate of the Proto-Germanic word *fukan 'have intercourse' which has its ultimate origin in Proto-Indo-European *pug- 'to strike' (compare English pugilist from Latin).  The English word f*ck derived according to regular sound laws from the Proto-Germanic form and there are cognate forms in most of the other Germanic languages.  It has moved in and out of vulgarity during its long reign in the Germanic languages.  In some time periods it was simply the normal term for breeding animals.  In Modern English it is moving out of being considered quite so vulgar since it is used so commonly.

Yeah, it was called "Identity" and it really sucked. You know it did. They gave good effort though.
