JK stands for "just kidding." People who are being facetious use this acronym to indicate that a previous statement was said in jest.
For example, a person who tells a Trekkie that Star Trek: The Next Generation sucks may quickly backpedal by sending JK in their next message. Or, someone who claims to have won the lottery may send JK after you start asking them for money.
