Lacknowledgement

When someone expresses something that would warrant acknowledgement, but it goes lacking instead.

Blacknowledgement

This is the process by which a Black person acknowledges another black person's presence in a social environment where black people are scarce or otherwise absent. These environments include places and events like: lacrosse parties, ice hockey games, early morning classes, Russia and The Ku Klux Clan Annual General Meeting.

Blacknowledgement is a show of solidarity and support indicating to another black person that you understand their social anxiety and feel their inner torment.

A blacknowledgement can be executed using anything from a simple nod to a well executed six part, click and snap, integrated handshake. In less friendly situations, a blacknowledgement may be used as a territorial gesture. It can be used to signal to another black person that you are the resident black person in that environment and that they should cower off and find non-black friends of their own.

nod of acknowledgement

go by the above definition, but the nod of acknowledgement is sometimes accompanied by a slight raising of the eyebrows and a slight grin...kind of like "ahh, yes. i see what you are doing. good job. good job."

friend 1 sees friend 2 trying to chat up a girl from the other side of the room. friend one then proceeds to nod his head, with eyebrows slightly raised, and grin slightly grinning.
Friend 2: (thinking) Jim can see me talking to this girl...sweet. he's nodding and raising the eyebrows. sweet (nods back)
Friend 1: (nod of acknowledgement towards friend 1) (thinking) Mmmhmm. That girl is hot.

nod of acknowledgement

This has also been spoken as the "guy nod" due to the fact that only guys seem to be the ones that do this, and at ages from middle school on up.

Nod of acknowledgement can be seen when walking through the halls of a school, I guy sees a girl that he knows, and gives her the guy nod to acknowledge the fact that he sees her, but not to draw too much attention to either himself or the situation that's occuring

public acknowledgement

When someone you're interested in makes it clear that they are with someone else through affectionate public gestures.

I was flirting with him until he gave the girl who walked up to us public acknowledgement, and then I backed off.
