nod of acknowledgement 

I usually refer to this as the "Man Nod", since it is generally used by Men with Men. I find the nod is used most often when signalling hello to an oncoming car on a lonely country road, when communicating a silent hello to a male pedestrian from a car, or in any situation where one man wants to acknowledge another man with respect non-audibly. In the case of car-on-car nodding, sometimes lifting 1 finger up to say "Hi" from the wheel often suffices too.

Driving on a desolate country road without seeing anyone for hours, I gave the only driver that passed the 'nod of acknowledgement {man nod}' as he passed and he did the same right back.

It's the same thing as the nod of acknowledgement. but instead of nodding, you point with your index finger.

nod of acknowledgement 

imagine someone signaling you from far away, you understand what they want and give a "nod of acknowledgement" to show them that you understood.

John gave me the signal to push Bob into the pool, i gave him a nod of acknowledgement and proceeded to do so.

Nod of acknowledgement 

When your homeboy looks at you from across the club. Just the eye contact is enough to ask "should I smash this chick I'm dancing with". With out saying a word you nod your head down for yes.

Timmy was dancing with a smoking hot white chick at the club yesterday. He looked at me and I gave him the nod of acknowledgement to smash her.

Nod of acknowledgement 

A very lazy way to say "yes" or "Thank you"

"I told Shaun that he killed it today in practice and all I got was a nod of acknowledgement"
