NSFW

Cubicle-verboten content tag

NSFW is an internet abbreviation for "not safe for work"—a warning that content contains nudity, graphic violence, or other material inappropriate to view in professional settings.

The tag appears on links, images, and videos so people can avoid embarrassment or workplace policy violations: I'll send you the link but it's NSFW, so wait until you get home.
