How long should I wait to switch from tapers to plugs for my gauged ears? I just sized up from a 0 to 00, and I've had the tapers in for about 5 days.
There are some late 20th century alternative meanings, limited to the USA, e.g. 'absurd or ridiculous' and 'to swindle or deceive'. This little phrase is a variant of okay. It is 20th century American and first appears in print in a 1932 edition of American Speech. There are several alternative spellings - okay-doke, okey-doke, okee-doke, etc. In addition to these is the comic version that has brought the phrase back to popular attention in recent years - The Simpson's Ned Flanders' 'okely-dokely'.
In the 1930s in California, the term (often used in contempt) came to refer to very poor migrants from Oklahoma (and nearby states). The Dust Bowl and the Okie migration of the 1930s brought in over a million newly displaced people; many headed to the farm labor jobs advertised in California's Central Valley. Dunbar-Ortiz (1996) argues that 'Okie' denotes much more than being from Oklahoma.
