Etymology
A-OK comes from the familiar OK, which means 'all good', with an added A that people used in old radio messages to make the word clearer and stronger. One popular story says NASA and military radio crews in the 1960s used A-OK, so today it means something is 'perfect' or 'completely satisfactory'.
