Robux is the in game currency of Roblox, spent on avatar items, accessories and game passes, so asking for it for free has long been a running joke among players. Svp is the shortened written form of s'il vous plaît, French for please, which gives the request a politely cheeky tone. Short clips of players asking Robux svp spread through gaming edits, chats and soundboards, where the phrase became shorthand for broke players, spoof charity appeals and anyone hoping another player will fund their next purchase.
