Good-Bye
Very Important to clarify the Misunderstanding of its meaning
From godbwye (1573), itself a contraction of God be with ye, infl. by good day, good evening, etc.
The word is now shortened to Bye
ETYMOLOGY: Alteration (influenced by good day) of God be with you.
WORD HISTORY: No doubt more than one reader has wondered exactly how goodbye is derived from the phrase “God be with you.” To understand this, it is helpful to see earlier forms of the expression, “ godbwye” ,that is a contraction of ” God be with ye”. The first word of the expression is now good and not God, for good replaced God by analogy with such expressions as good day, perhaps after people no longer had a clear idea of the original sense of the expression.
A letter of 1573 written by Gabriel Harvey (English writer) contains the first recorded use of goodbye: “To requite your gallonde [gallon] of godbwyes, I regive you a pottle of howdyes,” recalling another contraction that is still used.

O.K.
It was popularized by use as an election slogan by the O.K. Club, New York boosters of Democratic president Martin Van Buren's 1840 re-election bid, in allusion to his nickname Old Kinderhook, from his birth in the N.Y. village of Kinderhook.
Van Buren lost, the word stuck, in part because it filled a need for a quick way to write an approval on a ********, bill, etc. The noun is first attested 1841; the verb 1888. Spelled out as “okeh” , 1919, by Woodrow Wilson, on assumption that it represented Choctaw “okeh” (a theory which lacks historical ********ation); this was ousted quickly by “okay” after the appearance of that form in 1929. Okey-doke is student slang first attested 1932.
