Generally it doesn't stand for anything. It's just that. "Okay."\n\n'kk' is just Net Speak. Half the time it doesn't mean anything. Just like saying "WOMG!" the 'W' doesn't stand for anything. It just makes saying 'OMG' more funny, especially if you are picking on internet newbies.

The origin of the ubiquitous psuedo-word "OK" or "okay" has proven to be one of the biggest war grounds in etymology. It is not specifically of English origin, being used all over the world in many different languages. The letters "OK" would be understood by an Englishman or Frenchman alike.\n\nSo what are some of the stories surrounding OK?\n\nThe Greeks had an incantation of "Omega, Khi" with which they drove away fleas. \nThe Finnish language has the word "oikea." \nLiberian English has the term "oke." \nBurmese has "hoakeh." \nThe infamous jokers at the Boston Morning Post claimed, in 1839, OK was short for "ORL KORREKT." \nThe Times, in 1939, claimed it had London Cockney origins, from "Orl Korrec." \nAmerican Indians used the word "okeh" which meant "it is so." The story goes that Andrew Jackson picked up the word during the Battle of New Orleans in 1815. \nSome Latin scholars claim that "Omnis Korecta" is the origin. \nA site called The Straight Dope claims it is convinced of the true etymology. It claims the Bostonian "OLL KORRECT" is the true origin of "OK." Another site, however, claims the American Indian etymology is correct.\n\nThis is one of the finest examples of the entertainment of language. Despite technology, historical documents, and the availability of some of the most learned people in history, we still can't work out the etymology of a simple two syllable utterance! Long may it continue.

It stands for a strikeout, not a strike.  I've heard that it originated in the 19th century, when scoring a game, the scorer kept track of the number of strikes by using the three lines that comprise the letter K.  The third strike completed the "K", and was used to symbolize a strikeout in a scoresheet or scorebook. Not sure if this is legend or fact, but it does make sense.

It could either be a misspelling of OOPS or I saw OPPs as an abbreviation earlier tonight meaning OTHER PEOPLES PROPERTY!  Not sure what it meant in your experiences.

it's colloquial Hindi (NOT Hindu, that's a major RELIGION!) and as other posters have said, it means "It's OK"  or "OK" or "sure" or even "good".  Kinda depends on context, but "OK" is the closest equivalent in English.  Weird name for a house!

The  letters K and W originated early in the 20th century as part of a worldwide index of ship radio stations. K stood for ships on the East coast, W for ships in the Pacific. For some reason, when the letters were extended to land-based stations, they were reversed, with the Mississippi River eventually adopted as the dividing line. Ever since 1923, stations west of the river start with a K, those east of it start with a W.

For the last letter in struck.  The letter S was already in use for a sacrifice.  K for swinging, backwards K for looking.

O.K. - \nabbreviation of "oll korrect", alteration of "all correct" : all right. Mutilple emails (see contrib list) have indicated that the abreviation O.K. was not an english expression, they claim that the term came from the germans during the W W II, because the merchandise that they used in war was revised and stamp with a seal stating OLL KORRECT, so the abreviation for those words were O.K. \n\n\n:)\n\nhey your avatar is similar to mines! :)

Some believe it came from the abbreviation of Orrin Kendall biscuits, which soldiers ate during the civil war. Others say OK is short for Aux Cayes, a Haitian port that American sailors praised for its rum. Another legend suggests the word comes from Old Keokuk, a Native American tribal chief who was said to have signed treaties with his initials. \n\nWhat is known is that one of the first instances of OK appearing in print was in the spring of 1839 by the Boston Morning Post: \n\nIt is hardly necessary to say to those who know Mr. Hughes, that his establishment will be found to be 'A. No. One' -- that is, O.K. -- all correct. \n\nSo if OK stands for "all correct," wouldn't it be "AC"? Not exactly, says linguist Erin McKean, who points out that the word was intentionally misspelled. Much like the way people on the Internet shorten or abbreviate words when typing, OK was misspelled on purpose. \n\n"For instance, a lot of kids online spell "cool," "k-e-w-l," says McKean, senior editor for U.S. dictionaries at Oxford Press. "They know how to spell cool, but it just looks cooler to spell it "k-e-w-l." \n\nIt was cool in certain East Coast cities in the mid-19th century to substitute OK for "all correct." McKean says it was common for people of that day to use inside lingo -- shorthand full of puns, purposeful misspellings and abbreviations. For example, they'd use "SP" for "small potatoes," or "TBFTB" for "too big for their britches." \n\nOther abbreviations faded into obscurity, but the word OK stuck around. One of the reasons it weathered time is because it got a boost from then-president Martin Van Buren. \n\nVan Buren, a native of Kinderhook, N.Y., was popularly referred to as "Old Kinderhook" -- OK for short. Van Buren's 1840 reelection campaign became so heated that the word OK was widely used and abused by both sides. \n\nIn fact, to hurt the Democratic Party, an opponent started a rumor that it was former president Andrew Jackson who created OK, as an abbreviation of "all correct." The rumor implied that the rustic Jackson was a poor speller. That explanation for OK wasn't true, either, but it did have staying power. And it helped propel the use of OK even further. \n\nSo much, in fact, that it's used all around the world today. \n\n"To talk about the larger phenomenon as OK spread across the America and given to the world -- that implies that it has multiple origins; that people accept it for a variety of reasons," says Michael Adams, a linguist and an Albright College professor. \n\nAdams says there are words like OK in many other languages. In the West African language of Wolof, "waw kay" means "yes." In Choctaw, "okeh" means "indeed." \n\nWhile there isn't any proof that any of the words gave birth to the American OK, Adams says it's possible that the many non-English phrases helped the English one stick. \n\n"The influence of Choctaw, African American speech, political speech -- all of that came together in a kind of melting pot," Adams says. "There is a sense that the newspaper started it, but all those other influences came together to make OK probably the most popular American English word." \n\nMcKean says because OK has that sense of "jauntiness and belonging," people from all over the globe want a part of it. \n\nFamed journalist H.L. Mencken wrote about it. American soldiers took it to the places they were stationed. It was even taken into space, by astronauts like John Glenn, who excitedly exclaimed as the Friendship 7 launched, that "We're all OK!" \n\n"I'm trying to think what people would have said before OK," McKean questions. "If you had to go through a day without it, could you do it? Are you going to say, "right you are,&quo
