Heh.. most people that talk behind my back, are talking behind the back of my back (my front).

Another question; does anyone know what the 'K' in K-mart stands for?

Convenient? If yes, then it's just another example of C pretending to be K.

OK has something to do with Martin Van Buren, if my AP US History book has any validity, which I wouldn't be surpirsed if it didn't...

What does OK actually mean?
It started in the 1830's as a joke (by a Boston newspaper) abreviation for "All Correct", the joke being that neither O nor K are correct. In 1840 it was picked up by Martin Van Buren for his presidental campaign (Van Buren's nickname being "Old Kinderhook").
