Nod of Acknoweldgement

The act of acknowledging someones existence by nodding, most often used between males of lower generations however has become a practice which people of all ages perform. The act of nodding ones head is usually a sign of friendship between two people. A common phrase used during the nod of acknowledgement "y'alright" is used to show an appreciation for the other person. The phrase 'nod of acknowledgement' was coined in the year 1823, however use of the phrase has only recently peaked over the past decade.

Dan used the Nod of Acknoweldgement as he approached Jim in the alleyway.
Steve nodded in acknowledgement when he saw his work colleague in the store.

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.

nod of acknowledgement

go by the above definition, but the nod of acknowledgement is sometimes accompanied by a slight raising of the eyebrows and a slight grin...kind of like "ahh, yes. i see what you are doing. good job. good job."

friend 1 sees friend 2 trying to chat up a girl from the other side of the room. friend one then proceeds to nod his head, with eyebrows slightly raised, and grin slightly grinning.
Friend 2: (thinking) Jim can see me talking to this girl...sweet. he's nodding and raising the eyebrows. sweet (nods back)
Friend 1: (nod of acknowledgement towards friend 1) (thinking) Mmmhmm. That girl is hot.

Nod Squad

Term used to describe any group of junkies or the people waiting in line at a methadone clinic, due to their tendency to fall asleep at any given moment.

Noticing the nod squad waiting for bag in a bag to open, one could only assume the shit was good yesterday.

Nod of Acknoweldgement

That nod you give, in passing, to a girl whose vagina you've been using as your personal jungle gym for the last several weeks unbeknownst to your surrounding colleagues/friends. This nod is a good medium between absolute lack of acknowledgment and obvious overconversating as to not draw suspicion to the fact that she's an undercover freak and can take sausage better than the local butcher.

Tom: "Why didn't Jack say 'Hello' to Sarah this morning? I thought they were friends?"

Will: "He just gave her the 'Nod of Acknoweldgement', I'm pretty sure he porked her on his grandmother's kitchen floor last night"

nod friend

A person (usually at school) that you were once friends with but now only greet each other with a nod when you pass in the hall because you don't have classes together. It isn't always a sign on a dying friendship, just a latient one.

Julian was my friend in health class but after the semester was over he became my nod friend.
