A common phrase used when you feel that someone or something has done an act that has earned your respect. In some cases, if you are so grateful for a certain committed act, you may reply with, "That's Respect," followed with a snap of your index finger to your thumb and middle finger,which are connected to one another;see Ali G. Also, after you have committed an act of respect to someone, after they say, "That's Repsect," reply simply with, "Respect."

1) Actions taken in response to fear or low self esteem.
Respect is used in situations where a person wants others (or sometimes themself) to believe they have a high opinion of someone.
People respect their loved ones as people they have strong feelings for could use their feelings to hurt them. People respect those with authority over them as they are afraid of that authority being used against them.
To respect is one way of defining the feelings and behaviour caused by the pecking order in society: People respect their betters as they dont want to admit their own failings or are afraid that if they express their dislike for those better than them it would be seen as a challenge.
2) An attempt to gain the favor of others by showing empathy or understanding of other peoples views and feelings - commonly used in arguments to portray a superior knowledge of the issue in question.
