quialism. There are many explana-
tions for Its origin, but most of them
center around Andrew Jackson. One
explanation is that General jackson
borrowed the abbreviation from the
Choctaw Indians, with which tribe
he was well acquainted. That tribe
and the Chickasaws had no verb cor
responding to "be." Instead an en-
phatic word, "okeh," closed positive
statements in those languages. "oksh"
meant 'it is So" or "it is right"
Another explanation was offered In
1909 at the time of the death of Cor
nelius Kendall of Chicago. Mr.. Ken
