IRN for short. it's a non verbal way to say i see you there, or to recognize what is going on in a particular environment.

bicyclist and driver give a impulsive recognition nod at one another as to agree not to collide with one another.

male friend see's another male friend having a conversation with a female and gives the impulsive recognition nod as to non verbally communicate a variety of things such as; leave me alone, find your own ride home tonight, yes am trying to have sex with this individual, good luck etc.

you catch a person looking at you and that individual gives a impulsive recognition nod, and nod back but don't know why. this prevents any unnecessary altercation due to the IRN
