Charles, I have a comment on the expression with a capital O. In 1987 I moved from the south of Sweden to the north, where they frequently use the letter O before a verb expressing negation. But no grammer without exceptions for one day a friend told med she had to clean her flat because it was o-stökig. Stökig means untidy in Swedish so I asked her why? Her answer was that she used the expression to emphasize that her flat was very very untidy.
Since most (Swedish)dialects often preserve older swedish language Jan\s explanation seems quite correct.
Best regards,
Ing-Marie, who spent the summer of 1987 in the Twin cities
