I guess we'll just have to give that dumbass boss of ours a sincere Nod of Acknowledgement... so we can keep our jobs.

Nod of Acknoweldgement

That little nod you give to your friend when you pass them in the halls and don't want to look overly excited about seeing them. Highschool boys that do this are also the ones who do the whole Bro Hug thing.

My friend was passing me in the hallway and I was about to hug them but they gave me a lil Nod of Acknoweldgement, making me feel stupid.
