About This Quote
This quote is a sarcastic and self-deprecating response to the fact that the speaker has been unable to use a more interesting word than "OK" in a conversation. The speaker is so eager to get the conversation back on track that he feels compelled to acknowledge his own discomfort, but it's too late anyway. Even if he'd chosen a more exciting word, it would still be too late, because once you've started using an uninteresting word like "OK" you're stuck with it.
