JK

"Not being serious"

JK is internet shorthand for "just kidding," used to signal that a preceding statement was humorous or not meant seriously: I hate you JK, That's the worst idea ever, jk.

It softens potentially offensive remarks or clarifies tone in text where humor might not be obvious.

Also written j/k or jk.
