NSFW stands for "not safe for work". It is an abbreviation someone might use when sending an email with questionable content to a friend, as in "check this out, but it is NSFW, so make sure you read it at home".
A few weeks ago, something that takes NSFW to a new level showed up in the news. Two people who work at Cornell University were having an affair, and somehow, the guy just happened to copy the entire business school.
Now, leaving aside issues of whether this person was being self destructive and actually wanted to get caught or not, this is just awful. Lesson learned here? If you are going to have an affair, use your home email, not your work one. Just remember, when you get a work email account, most companies reserve the right to read your email if they want to, because you are using their systems. Also remember, they typically reserve the right to monitor your Internet, because after all, their computers and their Internet.
The site below has the entire email exchange, and I warn you now, it is NSFW.

(and yes, this was also reported on sites like Business Week, so it is legit...but on BW's site you need an account to read their full story)

On affairs, Frank Barone from Everybody Loves Raymond had the best response to these situations: "What the hell did I teach you? If you have a problem with your woman, you don't go out and get another woman! Now you have TWO problems!"
haha nice
Holy c....
"Holy c...."
Exactly what the recipients of the risqué e-mail collection must have said!
