[[folder:J-K]]
* First things first: This J-K folder is not about Creator/JKRowling, or Creator/JKSimmons.
** Nor does it stand for "Just Kidding." There's legitimately a folder here!

** Nor is it someone who creates knockoffs.
** And he almost certainly doesn't work at HonestJohnsDealership
* JacobAndEsau isn't about SiblingRivalry, that's CainAndAbel. It's also not about [[VideoGame/TheBindingOfIsaac pairs of characters which are simultaneously controlled by a single player]].

** Or any other invasion conducted by Japan, such as [[WorldWarII/PreludeToWar in east Asia during World War II]].

* A JawDrop is not when someone's bottom jaw falls right off his or her head, as is seen with zombies.
** It is also not a more specific subtrope of OrganDrops.
* JaywalkingWillRuinYourLife is not about getting killed by jaywalking. That would be an example (but not the definition) of CantGetAwayWithNuthin.

* JoshIkousei is not some guy named Josh with an unusual last name.

** Nor is it about [[XtremeKoolLetterz the actual letter X.]]
** Nor is it a FountainOfExpies about [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater the boss if she were in other organizations.]]
** For that matter, said "X" does not stand for [insert city name here], For example, [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Joy of Viridian, Joy of Pewter...]]
** Nor is it a version of ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut'' inside X's head, focusing on Joy.
** It also isn't about parodies of [[Series/TheJoyOfPainting Bob Ross]].

* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope does not involve skiing.
* {{Jump Scare}}s aren't necessarily when you frantically jump about as a result of getting scared by something or someone.
* [[JumpTheShark Jumping the Shark]] has nothing to do with bestiality. [[{{Squick}} We hope]].
** Nor does it involve a confrontation between [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] and a carnivorous fish. (For starters, he can't [[GoombaStomp stomp on things]] underwater.)
** Nor is it a Shark named Jumping.
** Nor is it jumping an ''actual'' shark, although that could invoke that trope. (It did for [[Series/HappyDays the trope namer.]])
* JungleJazz isn't the result of [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} a certain breakdancing Autobot]] being modified for operations in rainforests.

** Nor does the magician wow audiences with his amazing acts of getting away with being a {{jerkass}}.
** It's also not when a villain does a disappearing act just as he's about to be caught. That's VillainExitStageLeft (although overlap between the two isn't unheard of).

* {{Kayfabe}} is not something you put on your keychain.
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes has (sadly) nothing to do with the Japanese horror movie ''[[Literature/TheRing Ringu]]''.
** It also has nothing to do with [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Soundwave and Blaster cycling between which tapes they send out]].
* KeepItForeign doesn't refer to [[GratuitousForeignLanguage leaving words untranslated for flavor.]]
** And KeepItForeign ButNotTooForeign is two tropes, not one.

** It also has nothing to do with military forces from Pennsylvania.

* {{Kichiku}} is not [[CutenessProximity what you say when you're petting a cat]].

* A KidFic is not a fanfic about [[Manga/SoulEater Death the Kid]], or baby goats. It's not a fanfic made by a minor, either. Nor is it about joking or [[SpinoffBabies turning the characters into children]]. [-[[note]] These 'Kid' puns are very easy to make. [[/note]]-]
* KidsAreCruel does not refer to baby goats, although it can if the show is about {{Funny Animal}}s.
* KidsRock, while related to singing children, is not about rock songs performed entirely by kids. You might be thinking of Music/KidzBop. It's also not about why children are awesome.
** Nor is it a mountain that no adults can climb.
** It's also not about why baby goats are great.
** Also should not be confused with the musician Music/KidRock.
** For that matter, KidsRock is also not "the bullgod" or an "American badass".
** It's also not about baby stones.
* A KillerApp is not a database of famous murderers, [[ComicStrip/{{Dilbert}} no matter what Wally might tell you.]] Also, although many of the most well-known killer apps may involve the taking of life, the presence of such is not a prerequisite to the title. It isn't a program for the [=iPhone=] that finds you an assassin for hire, either, nor is it [[TheMostDangerousVideoGame an app that will kill you if you use it]].
* KillSat might be what most teens want to do to a certain standardized test, but the page isn't about that.
** It also has nothing to do with [[HatingOnMonday hating Saturdays]].
** Nor does it have anything to do with killing people by sitting on them.
* A KindlyVet isn't a veteran who's nice, even though they can overlap.

* KingpinInHisGym is not related in any way to CowboyBebopAtHisComputer.

* KnightsAndKnaves is not [[HoldYourHippogriffs a version of cops-and-robbers played by medieval kids]].

** Nor are they imitating [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Fluttershy]].
** They're not necessarily actual knights either, but they can be.
* KnowNothingKnowItAll has nothing to do with anti-immigrant political movements from the mid-19th century.
** Nor is it someone who has knowledge about the '[[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV nothingness]]'.
* KnowYourVines is not a section of Website/KnowYourMeme dedicated to Platform/{{Vine}}.
** Nor is this trope imploring you to know about that type of vine.
* {{Koan}} is not the character from ''Franchise/SailorMoon''.
** It also isn't the city [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} the Decepticons are based out of]]. That's Kaon.
* KudzuPlot doesn't actually have anything to do with ''ComicStrip/{{Kudzu}}''. Nor is it necessarily a story with the kudzu plant as a focus, nor is it a field of land used specifically to grow kudzu plants. (Not a good idea.)
* KungFoley is not Wrestling/MickFoley's seldom-seen martial-arts-master persona... but wouldn't it be cool if it was?
* {{Kuudere}} is not about [[Manga/MagicKnightRayearth Fuu's big sister]] having a big derriere.
* KyuAndDanRanks is not about ranks between [[VideoGame/{{Huniepop}} a Casanova-tutoring love fairy]] and [[VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha a pink-clad joke of a fighter]].

* TheLastDJ is not set in a world where disk jockeys are hunted down and killed until [[LastOfHisKind there is only one left]].

* LastGirlWins does not contain spoilers for almost every slasher movie in existence, disregarding {{Twist Ending}}s.
* A LastNoteNightmare is not when [[Manga/DeathNote Light Yagami]] gets a nightmare about running out of pages in his Death Note.
** It's not necessarily about a last-second ThatOneAttack in {{Rhythm Game}}s, but given the nature of music/rhythm games, such a pattern can sometimes be synced to one of these.
* A LastSecondWordSwap is not about using "swap" as the second-to-last word in a sentence.
* Someone's LastStand isn't [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure that kind of Stand]]. Nor is it their only remaining joint to set up shop.

** It also has no relation to EnemyEatsYourLunch.
* LatexPerfection is not about supermodels who are so heavily dolled up and photoshopped that they look more like [[UncannyValley lifeless mannequins]] than people, nor about [[ButWeUsedACondom flawless condoms]].
** Nor is it about proficiency in [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaTeX LaTeX]].

** Nor is it a corpse left hanging.

* LegCling is not about clothes that cling to their wearer's legs, whether by static, [[MagicPants magic]] or [[PaintedOnPants being extremely tight]].

* {{Lemon}} is not about [[TheAllegedCar poor-quality, defective cars]], the Russian term for a million of any currency, or actual lemons (we hope not).
** [[Series/ThirtyRock Televised hijinks occurring at 30 Rockefeller Plaza]] are also not involved in any way.
** They are also not [[VideoGame/{{Portal2}} combustible]], despite how much we sometimes wish they were.
* LemonyNarrator is not about {{Narrator}}s of {{Lemon}}s, or the dude who sings "The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny". It also isn't about a narrator who has just bathed in Lemon Pledge. It is not specifically about a work narrated by [[Series/ThirtyRock Tina Fey]] either.
** It definitely isn't a narrator who is billed as "lemony" [[LiteCreme because it would be a falsehood to say he contains actual lemons]].
** While [[VideoGame/{{Portal2}} Cave Johnson]]'s pre-recorded messages are examples of this trope, it isn't because he wanted to make them combustible.
* LensmanArmsRace is not about a [[VideoGame/MegaMan new Robot Master]]; neither is it about detached arms running around.
** While "Lensman" does refer to [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a man who uses a lens]], it's not about a race to create bigger and better lenses for whatever reason.
* LeParkour is not named for [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Peter Parker]], no matter how much he exemplifies this trope. It also has nothing to do with [[Series/ParkerLewisCantLose Parker Lewis]].
* {{Lesbian Vampire}}s aren't vampires who solely target lesbians. Instead, they're vampires who are lesbians themselves.

* The LethalJokeCharacter is not ComicBook/TheJoker. It's not the cast list of the very first ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'' sketch, either.

** Nor does it about asking the band to breathe out.
* LevelBreaker is not a GameBreaker limited to one GameLevel.
** Nor is it snapping one of those tubes with the little air bubble inside.
* LevelInReverse is not the result of reversing the word 'level.' Because it is a palindrome, it is also 'level.'

** Nor is it about becoming more reptilian when you level up. [[ScaledUp This is, though]].
** And it is also not about evenly measuring things.
** It also isn't about a GameLevel that requires you to scale it. (That would be RiseToTheChallenge.)
* LevelUpAtIntimacy5 is not the fifth installment in a series called ''Level-Up at Intimacy''.
* LickedByTheDog is about being licked in perfectly normal places. Not about being licked in... [[BestialityIsDepraved other places]].
** Nor is it any time a dog licks a human. Said human has to have a bad rap for it to count as this trope.

* LiesToChildren is a noun. It cannot replace the phrase "[[KickTheDog Kicks The Dog]]".
** It also doesn't refer to all untrue statements made to children.

** Nor is it a compliment for VideoGame/MegaMan's creator.
* LightIsNotGood is not a value judgment of the protagonist of ''Manga/DeathNote'', no matter how accurate it is.
** Nor does LIsForDyslexia refer to his antagonist's opinion of learning disabilities.
** Nor is it ''Death Note'''s equivalent to [[Anime/{{Naruto}} "Tobi is a good boy,"]]
** LightIsNotGood is not a statement concerning the taste of [[LiteCreme light products]] such as light beer and light cola, either.

*** Or that you are a vampire.

** Neither is it a rather succinct description of [[VideoGame/{{Persona 3}} Akihiko Sanada]].
** It doesn't mean TheBigGuy is resorting to ShockAndAwe.
* LightningCanDoAnything does not involve gushing about the [[UsefulNotes/NationalHockeyLeague Tampa Bay Lightning]], with the potential exceptions of [[UsefulNotes/StanleyCup 2004, 2020, and 2021]].
** Nor does it have to do with the amazing versatility of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'' and ''VideoGame/LightningReturnsFinalFantasyXIII'''s main protagonist.
** It also has nothing to do with the main character of ''WesternAnimation/Cars1''.
** And no, nor is it a boast about the capabilities of the [[UsefulNotes/YanksWithTanks P-38 or F-35]].
* LikeIsLikeAComma is not about rapidly and obsessively "liking" things on Platform/{{Facebook}}.
** Also, the second like doesn't mean "similar to", although you could argue that "'Like' is Similar to a Comma" is a more accurate name for the trope.
* LikeYouWereDying is not sarcastic. It's also not how a ValleyGirl talks. ([[LikeIsLikeAComma Like, you were dying, you know?]])
* LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt is something the audience says to a writer, not something a character says to another character. That trope is YouWouldntShootMe.
** It's also not what someone says to an ExtremeOmnisexual when they flirt with something even more outrageous than usual.
