(UK, dialect) A dimple or dint.
Doke is informal slang short for "OK" or "all right," used in casual conversation. Not concerning. If your kid uses it constantly, ask them where they first heard it, not to police their speech but to understand which online community they are in. Most slang of this kind moves through TikTok and group chats, so seeing it in your child's vocabulary just means they are plugged into normal teen internet culture.
Doke is informal English slang short for "OK" or "okey-doke." Use in casual conversation. Formal equivalents: "OK," "all right." Common non-native mistake: spelling variations (doke, dokey, doke-y). Often appears as part of "okey-doke" or "okey-dokey." Read or listen to the word in context several times before trying it yourself; the right register is harder to learn than the dictionary meaning. Native speakers will accept the word in writing only if they are using the same casual register; in business writing it sounds out of place.

Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.
