Okey-dokey Meaning Okay. There are some late 20th century alternative meanings, limited to the USA, e.g. 'absurd or ridiculous' and 'to swindle or deceive'. Origin This little phrase is a variant of okay. It is 20th century American and first appears in print in a 1932 edition of American Speech. Like okay, 'okey-doke' is used to indicate that all is well, e.g. 'everything is okay here', but may be used when responding positively to a request. That is exemplified in this piece from Colin MacInnes' book City of Spades, 1957: "One Guinness stout, right, I thank you, okey-doke, here it is."
