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!
