They're all part of the Internet Slang, used globally by many Internet users, Instant & text messengers. There's many reasons as to why it is commonly used, but it's mainly used to either shorten a word/saying into acronyms. Also, for other people cannot understand the conversation, making it somewhat difficult to decipher the conversation. Here are the meanings to the words:
IDK - I Don't Know
Meaning: The person does not know a specific subject or doesn't know what to say. Maybe confused.
J/K (JK)- Just Kidding
Meaning: The person is joking around or pulling a prank.
WTF - What The F#%*
Meaning: The person doesn't believe or is surprised at an object or something.
You can find more of these common lingos on the website below. I know, it's sometimes funny and ridiculous when people overuse them.
Hope this helped you!
