Something done primarily by males who are in the same demographic.
A simple nod that a guy that gives to another guy that acknowledges the fact that they are both aware of each other and accept each other's presence. Usually done without any thought going into it, essentially a non-verbal message of acceptance.
I have no idea why we do this now that I think about it, it's like some primal need to tell each other that we aren't hostile. Maybe it has to do with alpha males or something, left over monkey shit like arm hair I guess.

Nod of Acknowledgement
by Unbiased Definitions July 14, 2016
When men guys acknowledge each other, without speaking or shaking hands, by a simple nod of the head.
"Did you know that guy back there?" "No, I just gave him a gentleman's nod because we made eye contact. It's just polite to acknowledge someone's existence."

To acknowledge a statement by not replying.
The assumption is that all involved heard/read what was said (as would usually be the case on small Usenet newsgroups), all agreed upon it enough not to object, and no one had any objections, so the statement is presumed to have been heard and acknowledged.

Guy: "Revenge of the Sith was the worst movie ever."
Group: "..." <-- usenet nod
Guy: "No one liked it? Good."

The nod of acknowledgement is a standard among guys as a way to let the person know that you see them, without having to resort to using words. Girls will generally not accept the nod of acknowledgement and opt for a wave of the hand and/or a smile, perhaps even accompanied by words. The nod of acknowledgement is a wordless conversation.
The only acceptable response to a nod of acknowledgement is another nod. If you speak, you have broken the point of such a gesture.

Situations in which the nod of acknowledgement may be used:
(1) Walking past a friend to class
(2) Catching a friend's eye across the room to say "hi" without verbally saying it
(3) Giving approval of a friend's actions

The media's adoption of names and terms from popular films.
The use of these terms shows how "hip" headline writers and on-air personalities are.

After the film "Amadeus" came out, everyone had to give a film nod by calling Mozart-Wolfgang 'Amadeus' Mozart from now on.
The word "tornado" all but disappeared in a cloud of film nods after the movie "Twister" was released.
