Is "okay" the most widely used word in the world?

[Os Cangaceiros]

I've been thinking about this lately, as many foreign films that I watch include the word "okay" somewhere, in the exact same way that English speakers use the word, including films from Germany, France, Finland, Italy, Hong Kong etc. I already knew that Spanish speakers frequently used it, and judging from the Wiki article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okay) on it, it does seem to have a very wide usage.

I believe it is, but, unfortunately, cool is climbing the ladder.

[Volcanicity]

Whatever is way overused.

Also in Hungarian, Spanish and, believe it or not, French.
That's as far as I know, maybe a speaker of some other language can confirm that for his/hers own.

"Okay" is the most common word in the world, followed by "Coca-cola"


There's something wrong with that statement... Because Coke sucks.
