It's a bit of an internet meme, gravity can take momentum away from one object and transfer it to another, and that's what Newton said a force was. The meme is that the way it happens makes "changing momentum" (3-momentum, the one Newton was talking about) and "going straight" (geodesically, in curved space-time) hard to separate in English.
