a nod of the head (either a swift upward jerk of the head, or a slower, downward nod of the head) sometimes exchanged between African-Americans (particularly males, regardless of age), given in acknowledgement of each other's presence and the presumed, shared struggles of being an African-American man. Prevalance of the nod varies greatly from city to city or geographic region.
Non African-American companion upon observing the Nod: "Do you know that guy? Why did you two just do that?"
African-American man: "No, I've never seen him before. I was just giving him a 'Nod of aknowledgement'. We don't all know each other; it's just a form of respect."
A fantasy explanation/ or excuse for the men loss or misplacing of valuable personal items or narcotics while losing consciousness after taking powerful narcotics yourself.

The second tier list (after the first tier list known as 'hello list'.) A mental list of people you know by sight or repeatedly pass in the course of you day yet do not know by name, but eye contact stimulates a need to acknowledge identification usually returned by identical nod. Repeated presence on list may promote to hello list or other lists. See also "fuck list", "ignore list" "shit list"). lack of reciprocity will relegate person to 'shit list' or 'bitch list'. A person may move between these lists depending on response or sexual contact.
