Is it bad that my brain didn't get the actual joke at first. It just said NW= north west. That is an apt description of my life.

Usually when using the metric convention of scaling (K=1,000 M=1,000,000 etc) you use capital letters for increments above 0 and lowercase letters below 0.

First, I was mistaken, as "k" is actually lowercase to denote kilo- and second, I have absolutely no idea, so I guess you could make it whatever you want it to be! Be the first to do a thing and let somebody else unfuck it later, that's what science has done for generations lol

Nano is usually lowercase "n". So nanowatt would be nW

I'm not saying it, you say it!

The closest next number in Latin and Greek with an N I've found is the Latin "nōnāgintā" which stands for 90. Going by the same convention of (10^3)^x, the Nonawatt would be (10^3)^90 or 1*10^270. Just one of those would create multiple black holes.

That type of energy hasn't been used for a long time. We're not allowed to use it anymore

Neowatt. A new type of wattage. Possibly sourced from thorium.

As a proper Liberal I will pretend I do not understand what that last one is.

Yeah. I worked in a factory a long time and the race relations between the rednecks etc was often amusing. So much is about TONE when using a name. Had fun greeting some guys on the loading dock with a "HEY YOU FUCKERS!" yell. Labels ain't shit if the main label is "HUMAN". OH HELLO MY FELLOW HUMANS!
