具讽刺意味的是，"O.K."虽然没能救得了Van Buren的竞选，但竞选却给了“O.K."新的活力——在那之前，它一直没能作为一个完成的词，比如像“O.W."（表示"oll wright"），那样流行起来。 （顺便说句，在我们开始觉得比19世纪的老土们牛B太多之前，"oll wright"真的就比几年前流行过的什么"excuuuse me!"

Ironically, while "O.K." didn't save Van Buren's campaign, the campaign gave "O.K." a new lease on life -- until then, it had never been as popular as a competing phrase, "O.W." (for "oll wright").
