the nod

The nod men give to each other for one reason or another. The Nod is never taught to men, it is a primal instinct engraved into them naturally. Given the nod to a woman leads to receiving an odd look.

Get the the nod mug.

Nods Thymely

Much like nodding sagely but in a way that makes it seem like you’re not actually following the conversation.

Lulia: ....so in conclusion, I’m just wondering if you think it’s weird that I used lube to get that thing into my blender.

detroit nod

The Detroit nod is often seen in "the trenches" and more violent streets of Detroit. With Detroit being one of the murder capitals of America, any social interaction must be handled carefully. The "Detroit Nod" is a social gurantee that there are no problems and no worries. Essientially; I won't hurt you, you won't hurt me.

In Detroit: "Cuz gave me the nod so I knew he was straight"

"Why that dude nod at people like that?"

"That's the Detroit nod bro!"

Dutch Nod

When you are out in public spaces, (most often your local farmer's market and/or auction, diner, luncheonette, or fire company social quarters) somewhere in south central Pennsylvania, and you notice you are being watched by an old man who does nothing more than give you a barely perceptible nod (perhaps squinting a bit as well), letting you know you are "O.K." and accepted.

"hey man you sure we are gonna be ok walking into this place? It looks rough."
"Yeah man, that old dude gave me the Dutch Nod walking in"
"Really??? That guy gave me the finger!!"
"Well then.... you're fucked"
