I usually refer to this as the "Man Nod", since it is generally used by Men with Men. I find the nod is used most often when signalling hello to an oncoming car on a lonely country road, when communicating a silent hello to a male pedestrian from a car, or in any situation where one man wants to acknowledge another man with respect non-audibly. In the case of car-on-car nodding, sometimes lifting 1 finger up to say "Hi" from the wheel often suffices too.
Driving on a desolate country road without seeing anyone for hours, I gave the only driver that passed the 'nod of acknowledgement {man nod}' as he passed and he did the same right back.

When your homeboy looks at you from across the club. Just the eye contact is enough to ask "should I smash this chick I'm dancing with". With out saying a word you nod your head down for yes.
Timmy was dancing with a smoking hot white chick at the club yesterday. He looked at me and I gave him the nod of acknowledgement to smash her.

imagine someone signaling you from far away, you understand what they want and give a "nod of acknowledgement" to show them that you understood.

(supplementary) The *upward* nod of acknowledgement has quite different connotations to the *downward* nod of acknowledgement.
The user of the *upward* nod of acknowledgement displays the nostrils and their contents to the subject, whilst symultaneously looking down on them. It therefore signals disrespect.
The *downward* nodder looks up to the subject, displaying submission to them. It therefore signals respect.
