Hello there, I was wondering if someone could tell me most of the game acronyms? I know the basics like afk & brb etc; But I keep seeing people talking about doing ??? runs and I have no idea what they are talking about.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Adding on.

When someone puts a U infront of a boss area, like UFSC or UIMF, they are talking about the Shadow Lair version of the run.

JK means just kidding. There

JK means just kidding. There is not, nor was there ever a Jelly King in spiral knights, it says about a dozen times "royal jelly".

@Batabii:

Keep telling yourself that. It'll eventually be true. I, as well as all my friends, will remain perfectly happy calling him the Jelly King.

dude it IS true. Name one

dude it IS true. Name one place in the entire game it specifically calls it "Jelly King". You're wrong. And it's stupid to call it that, especially when nobody has any confusion over the other bosses. You're just trolling.

Lol... It doesn't really matter. Does any NPC in the game call the Snarbolax, Snarby? No, but if you say "I'm going to farm Snarby," people understand what you are saying. You can even call Vanaduke, Vana or even Vanaduck. People still understand what you are saying.

People called the Royal Jelly, the Jelly King. It doesn't matter if that is his official name, people still call him the JK and refer to him as such.

Except that Snarby is the official nickname, and it's even in the game files. Plus you can't exactly abbreviate Snarby like you can RJ.

People that call RJ Jelly King are still stupid and wrong.

Stop what from being true? True that people insist on being wrong?

Yes. Amazingly, people can be wrong. They just don't bother correcting themselves when both everyone else is making the same mistake, and the mistake isn't worth making a big fuss about.

JK

JK= Jelly King/Royal Jelly. Has been since the day I started playing, and I'm pretty sure it always will be.

No use fighting a losing battle, my friend. So much people call the JK JK, (like me) there won't be any use trying to correct them. They'll be too set in their ways, and to some of us, (like me, again) it'll always be JK. And, technically, he IS a jelly king. I entered the game with friends calling him JK, so I adopted their ways instead of using the less commonly used way. Just sayin'.

Hmmm.

The Jelly King has more of a ring to it than, say, the Royal Jelly. Sorry, but that's the way it is.
Besides, it's a nickname. They know its name is the Royal Jelly, but hey, that's what nicknames are for.

Personally, I think we should call him the Gelatinous Cube of Evil Absorption Power, for simplicity's sake (GCOEAP for short)
