...as if someone who uses that [removed]an Okie?) is going to know how to spell...

OK, why is the software censoring the word "expression"?

Dang nabbit tadchem ... I don't know why "expression" is censored. You can override some things using the site control panel if you have access to that.

Just some of that new hep-cat jive talk that was making its way into the mainstream. No wonder the oldsters couldn't understand him.

Okie-Doke was pretty centralized in the upper mid-west so I can understand why a batch of misplaced Russians wouldn't be familiar with it but to go nuts about spelling is just over the top.

Anyhow, I looked around for the origins and found that it was 1st used in print around 1932.
