Nerd Nod

The quick head-tilt of mutual respect when two geeks recognize each other’s rare tech, custom gear, or deep-cut fandom.

Example 1:

I whipped out my Steam Deck and got a Nerd Nod from the guy across the café.

Example 2:

She saw my mechanical keyboard with artisan keycaps and gave me the Nerd Nod.

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.
