Fun Facts From History.com:On March 23rd in1839, the initials"O.K." are first

published in TheBoston Morning Post

Meant as anabbreviation for "oilcorrect," a popularslang misspelling of"all correct" at thetime, OK steadily

made its way into theeveryday speech of

Americans.During the late1830s, it was a

favorite practice

among younger,educated circles to

misspell wordsintentionally, then

abbreviate them anduse them as slang

when talking to oneanother. Just as

teenagers today havetheir own slang based

on distortions ofcommon words, suchas "kewl" for "cool" or"DZ" for "these," the

"in crowd" of the1830s had a wholehost of slang terms

they abbreviated.Popular abbreviationsincluded "KY" for "Nouse" ("know yuse"),

"KG" for "No go"("know go"), and

"OW" for all right ("oilwright").

Interesting Tidbits by Mary Ann Gove

One of the morehumorous stories inArizona history isabout Miami, Arizona.In December, 1909,the post office wasestablished in a tinybuilding that could behauled on the back ofa flatbed truck. This

post office wasstationed on a cornerin the new little town,and the surroundinglots were soon sold.When the lots weresold, and the moneyhad been made, theywould move the postoffice to another area

and proceed toovercharge for thelots in that sectionof town. It was anovel way to peddlereal estate, andmake more thanwhat the lots wereworth, as mostnewcomers wanted

property close to thepost office andwould pay theasking price only towake up onemorning and findthe post office wasgone!
