Fruit jellies are made from juice and pectin; petroleum jelly is a thick ointment.

In British English, jelly means what Americans call Jell-O.

Jellies are also a type of soft plastic sandal: She wore jellies to the beach.

Jellyfish are sometimes called jellies.

In slang, jellies can mean jealous feelings: Don't get the jellies just because she won.
