What does "NSFW" mean in internet slang?
The structure is an initialism standing for "Not Safe For Work." It is used as a content warning to label material such as nudity, explicit language, graphic violence, or sexual content that could get someone in trouble if viewed in a professional or public setting. People typically add "NSFW" before sharing a link, image, or video so others know not to open it at work or around children.
Examples
That link is NSFW, so do n't open it at work.
