Oklahomans sometimes may call each other 'Okies' but they DO take offense at 'foreigners' calling 'em the 'O-word'.
A few years back the official symbol for one of the Grand Masters of Masons in Oklahoma was the Square and Compasses above the word 'OKIE'
BTW,
www.ou.org points to the Orthodox Union kosher certification site, while
www.ou.com points to a cybersquatter.
