What does OSU mean in Kyokushin Karate?

In Kyokushin, OSU comes from Oshi shinobu, meaning to push oneself to the limit, persevere under pressure, and endure, and it expresses respect for seniors and responsibility to juniors. It is also used as a greeting and can replace words like yes, alright, good, and well done.
