nod of recognition

Harley Riders & Jeep drivers do this. Just a little nod to acknowledge one another.
I've seen the nod of recognition many a time whilst in traffic. Pretty cool!

On the nod 

(Verb) Oftentimes the condition or state of being a person wishes to attain, and usually does whenever the sufficient amount of opiates are consumed. Successful attainment will include eyes closed and head titled slightly down. In its most extreme form this writer has seen a person practically folded in half while standing upright as if they were touching their toes.
Grant doesn't have a single pair of pants that do not have cigarette burns on the legs. Every time he gets on the nod he will light a cigarette, then he'll closes his eyes and he doesn't come to or snap out of it until the cigarette burns up and burns a hole in his pants.

Nod of Acknowledgement 

Something done primarily by males who are in the same demographic.

A simple nod that a guy that gives to another guy that acknowledges the fact that they are both aware of each other and accept each other's presence. Usually done without any thought going into it, essentially a non-verbal message of acceptance.

I have no idea why we do this now that I think about it, it's like some primal need to tell each other that we aren't hostile. Maybe it has to do with alpha males or something, left over monkey shit like arm hair I guess.

*second guy walks in opposite direction*
*look at each other and give a brief nod before passing*
Nod of Acknowledgement

Gentleman's Nod 

When men guys acknowledge each other, without speaking or shaking hands, by a simple nod of the head.
"Did you know that guy back there?" "No, I just gave him a gentleman's nod because we made eye contact. It's just polite to acknowledge someone's existence."
