NSFW is an acronym that has been around for multiple decades and pretty clearly communicates the kind of content you're going to see/hear. It's a solid baseline that most people are going to have a rough approximation of what they're going to see.
Every company has a handbooks and guidelines for what is appropriate in an office setting and for the most part are pretty consistent in what is and isn't appropriate across the vast majority people's work experiences (ignoring that management probably doesn't want people wasting time on social media anyway). If you wouldn't keep it on your desk at work, or say it to another employee without getting sent to HR.
Don't forget a lot of online terminology originated because computers used to be pretty much exclusively the domain of corporations, government orgs, and colleges like 30-40 years ago.
