Down nod

The down nod is a typically male greeting meaning "Hello." It is used for those you consider your equals as well as those you respect. It is more formal than the up nod.

I saw my professor walking down the hallway towards me. I gave him a down nod as a sign of respect.

You see how this interviewer is hitting them with the classic toddler nod?

internet nod

The act of reading something on the internet (on usenet, in the days before the web was invented) and simply physically nodding your head in agreement rather than posting a (content-free) "me too" message.

Yeah, I saw that, and I gave it an internet nod.

Nod of aknowledgement

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."

Burque Nod

A form of non-verbal acknowledgement, usually among men, occurring after eye contact is made while walking, shopping, or out in the city. After the nod is used, eye contact is broken. Its meaning may be interpreted as "You see me, I see you. I recognize you are doing your thing and I respect it."

Proper usage: You are walking down Central and you see someone at a distance walking the opposite direction on the sidewalk with a nose that looks like it has been broken several times. Avoid starring (that is rude) until at an appropriate visual distance then attempt eye contact. After eye contact is made by both parties slightly nod your head in their direction and look away. Continue your walk down Central.

"When visiting San Francisco from New Mexico avoid the Burque Nod in the Tenderloin unless you want more attention from the crack heads & tweakers."
