Origin of Internet's NSFW Warning
Before 'NSFW', an early internet content warning was rumored to be 'NFBSK', short for 'Not For British School Kids', in the late 1990s.
The common online abbreviation 'NSFW' for 'Not Safe For Work' has an interesting rumored predecessor. Before it became widespread, some early internet forums used 'NFBSK' to flag content.
