Hi... Meaning : Okay. There are some late 20th century alternative meanings, limited to the USA, e.g. 'absurd or ridiculous' and 'to swindle or deceive'. Origin 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. okily-dokilyThere 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'. All of them are just a perky reduplicated variants of okay, utilizing that favourite device of two-word phrases - rhyming. As a reduplication it is properly spelled with a hyphen, although it is often given without. Like okay, 'okey-doke' or now 'doke' is used to indicate that all is well, e.g. 'everything is okay here', but may be used when responding positively to a request. That is exemplified in this piece from Colin MacInnes' book City of Spades, 1957: "One Guinness stout, right, I thank you, okey-doke, here it is."

I have to ask. Did you read this or hear it in a movie or TV show? If you heard it, could it have been confused with "joke"? If you read it then Marie-Helene's answer is the only one that fits. If you heard it, then "joke" seams a more logical fit.

Okay. I have read the sentance and the reponses. I am from America and that does not make sense to me as just the word doke. Now if it is a misprint in the spelling and you meant to say Your new car is dope. That makes a lot more sense. That would mean the person really likes it alot.

I don't think doke is a word. It sounds like someone made it up.
