SFW
Viewable at work
SFW stands for "safe for work"—content appropriate to view in professional settings where explicit material would be inappropriate.
The term arose as internet culture needed to distinguish harmless content from NSFW (not safe for work) material: It's just a beach photo, totally SFW.
Often used as a reassuring label before sharing links.
