Everything is a-ok. Its all good.
Originated by post WW
II US Sailors on liberty in Yokosuka, Japan. The strip
right outside the main gate to the US Naval
Base was called (and still is) Honcho Dori (means book district street in Japanese). Times were wild and there was no better sailor port in the world at the time. This was bastardized to Honky Dory by the sailors and it came to
mean if you came from Honky Dory then everything had to be good or 'honky dory'.
