Kate Washburn had no idea of the abbreviation "NSFW" written at the bottom of the e-mail she received at her office from a friend.
Then she clicked through the attached sideshow,titled "Awkward Family Photos" including shots of a family in fury "nude" suits and of another family alongside a male walrus in a revealing pose.
She then looked up NSFW on NetLingo.com,a web-site for definitions of internet and texting terms-
she found out NSFW means "Not Safe For Work".
She later expressed, if she had known NSFW,she wouldn't have been inappropriate like that.
