I'm OK means i'm fine. But if you say the weather's OK in a lazy drawl,it could mean 'so-so'. When you respond with an OK at the end of someone's explanation,you could be saying,'Alright,i get what you are saying'. And when someone explains that 'This is the way to do it,OK?' it means,'Have you understood?' But have you ever known what is the origin of OK?

Yep, I suppose OK does have lots of different meanings. It can even be spelled "okay." OK. LOL
