Most have been taught as youngsters to not use this word and several others that have other meanings, its just not polite, has nothing to do with political correctness, we are to avoid coarse talk.
O K - Ship that was loaded correctly and ON KEEL and stood straight up in the water, so named so it was OK to leave port!!!
Many people use euphemism's - substitution of an agreeable or in inoffensive expression for one that may offend or suggest something unpleasant. " Darn it" "Gosh" "Gay" "Cougar" and the list goes on and on, just have to watch the most powerful weapon ever made " the Tongue "
Have a great Model A Day and A Happy New Year, Bruce in southern OHIO

Hmm, probably good idea, i.e.- euphemism/obscure/cloak ! Step around 'IT'...not in 'IT'.
