\u201cNot safe for work\u201d \u2013 sometimes abbreviated to \u201cNSFW\u201d \u2013 is internet slang to mark online content that a viewer may not wish to be seen looking at while at work or in public places. A digital artist\u2019s image called \u201cCROSSROAD\u201d sold for $6.6 million on February 24; it was a \u201cnot safe for work\u201d illustration of a public figure with graffiti on his body. The \u201cCROSSROAD\u201d image is \u201cnot safe for work\u201d because it shows a naked body with graffiti on it, so you probably wouldn\u2019t want to open it and look at it while in public. If a friend texts you a link to an inappropriate meme, he might say that it\u2019s \u201cNSFW\u201d to warn you that you should wait until you\u2019re home to look at it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
