Does NSFL mean "Not Safe For Life"? I wasn't familiar with this term before and have never seen content labeled with it.

- andy81 4y agoExactly. It differentiates e.g. gore from pornography.

- Pxtl 4y agoI usually hear it as "not safe for lunch", as in something so horrifying it will make it difficult to keep food down.
- phkahler 4y ago>> I usually hear it as "not safe for lunch", Decades ago, I was having lunch at my parents house. There was a newspaper on the table, unopened, just brought in. I looked over the top of page 1. Unfolded it, and there was a picture of a dead body in the street. It was a story about some conflict in another country (Bosnia perhaps). I'm OK with seeing that if I'm already reading about it and in the right frame of mind, but "not safe for lunch" really hit me that day. So much that I called the newspaper to complain about "being surprised with a dead body on the front pafe during lunch". I've never done that before or since. ;-)
- DontchaKnowit 4y agoIt is definitely "not suited for life" (or not safe for life) As in, something nsfw is not okay for work, something nsfl is not okay fir life in general.
- tomjen3 4y agoYes. The trouble with NSFW is that it covers things you want to seek out, e.g porn, but also things you might want to avoid, e.g war pictures.
