Take the pop culture acronym challenge
NSFW means not safe for work. It is an acronym that accompanies web content that is not suitable for a work environment.
NSFW usually appears next to a link to the content on a website or email to warn the reader that the content may be considered inappropriate. An example of NSFW content is a website that contains profanity or other objectionable material. The term may also be used to describe offline things such as alcohol or loud music.
