detroit nod

The Detroit nod is often seen in "the trenches" and more violent streets of Detroit. With Detroit being one of the murder capitals of America, any social interaction must be handled carefully. The "Detroit Nod" is a social gurantee that there are no problems and no worries. Essientially; I won't hurt you, you won't hurt me.

In Detroit: "Cuz gave me the nod so I knew he was straight"

"Why that dude nod at people like that?"

"That's the Detroit nod bro!"

Nerd Nod

The quick head-tilt of mutual respect when two geeks recognize each other’s rare tech, custom gear, or deep-cut fandom.

Example 1:

I whipped out my Steam Deck and got a Nerd Nod from the guy across the café.

Example 2:

She saw my mechanical keyboard with artisan keycaps and gave me the Nerd Nod.
