Better than "newton-meters" , yeesh. What the hell is a "newton"?

Actually, what the hell is a "meter"?

The mnemonic for remembering a newton is actually one of my favorites. It's the force required to move 1kg by 1m. A kg being roughly the mass of an apple makes Newton a natural and somewhat clever fit for the concept.
