I kept asking what an Okie Dokie was and everyone just said it meant O.K.

I believe an Okie Dokie is a pastry. What is the origin.

And what about "foofy". I don't find this in any dictionaries. Closest I can find is "frou-frou", with pretty much the same meaning. Is "foofy" an Anglicization (Americanization) of same?

For that matter, does anyone know what "tagalog" actually MEANS (in Tagalog)? The article implies that it means "archipelago" or some such thing, tho I cannot recall any modern-day Filipinos using it for anything but the language itself.

Anyway, interesting... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (wordgeek) http://wordoriginsorg.yuku.com/topic/667 Fri, 29 Mar 2002 14:36:15 GMT http://wordoriginsorg.yuku.com/topic/671/t/Whoop-D-Doo-.html
