You know, there are a lot of reasons not to have a Macintosh. Enough that there's no reason to resort to bizarre, ad hominem, nonsensical, and often simply fallacious attacks.
Acronym: Not Suitable For Work.
Used when posting a link to a site of dubious merit which could cause embarrassment/P45 if linked to while using the Internet at work

Damn, now I have to look up what P45 is an acronym for.

P45 is the document given to you upon termination of employment. At least in the UK it is...

I think it's something to do with income tax payments. I'm not to sure as I'm still in my first real job. Possibly not for much longer, but that's a subject for another thread.... and possibly an email to the samaritans.

Wow. I really don't find it funny in the least. Guess i'm one of the few. I'm not even a mac nut and it's pretty offensive. Eh.

It is, but there are a lot of people who think the phrase *is* "tongue and cheek".
Sorry.
Of course those same people are probably the ones who abbreviate et cetera "ect".
