And three short stories behind 3 harmless words:

O.K. - "oll korrect". As WtymOnline says: "1839, only survivor of a slang fad in Boston and New York c.1838-9 for abbreviations of common phrases with deliberate, jocular misspellings (such as K.G. for "no go," as if spelled "know go;" N.C. for "'nuff ced;" K.Y. for "know yuse"). In the case of O.K., the abbreviation is of "oll korrect."

Altar - Latin for "high" and arguably refering to the elated trance state one aspires to reach when up upon the spiritual alter in the classic sense of worship and dedication to the faith or religion of choice. Thus, your perception and state of existence becomes ALTERED when you sincerely set foot on the alter.

Likewise, Entrance is the entryway through a church doorway, which ultimately leads to the individual becoming ENTRANCED by the ceremonies to follow (whether in a authentically enriching fashion or more often these days a indoctrinating manner).


That's all for now folk.
See you in the FarSide.
