"OK." Means I'm done with this topic and don't wish to discuss it any further.
"That could be okay" means I'm not struck by the idea but don't find it offensive so would be willing to give it a try.
"It was okay" means not bad, not great, would probably do it again if someone I care about wanted to, but unlikely to do it off my own back. |

So there you go. Makes absolutely no fucking sense whatsoever but hey ho....

"Depends if it’s followed with a 
Then I might not see it as okey-dokey "
I really hate
^ that irritating thing.
If I say "ah okay", I'm either tired or it's not okay at all.
If I say "Okay!" then I'm ending the chat on that point but happy with it.
There's a myriad of ways to use the simple okay.  |
