Apparently when the british ruled chennai before 1857 they could post letters without stamps marked on the envelope as "OC" (As in On Company Service). The letters went all the way to the UK from chennai. So any freeloader would be called OC.

I wonder if it was used in Bengal as well among the Bengalis? Private Reply to Mohan G Mar 26, 2009 3:28 am re: re: re: re: re: re: re: The origin of OC # Senthil Nathan @Mr.Mohan, You toooooooooo. Why drag the Bengalis into another controversy? I didnt even dream you too can spell out such sarcasm.

If you can understand their accent! Well,from ocifying we sometimes reach the ossifying stage!! We all tend to give many freebies in life and receive many also .It evens out at a particular stage. I consider receiving free ervice,help ,consultation,etc,etc, also comes under ocifying category when no many changes hands but value certainly does. All things have intrinsic value even when they are received free!!!!! Private Reply to padmanabhan ramasubban Previous Topic | Next Topic | Topics Back to Chennai Network
