verb: nod off is what happens when your eyes and brain disobey you, and begin entering hibernation mode even though you know you should be up and awake. Nodding off happens most often when you sit in a comfortable seat in the back of the room during boring classes with droning old professors. Some people are gifted with the screensaver mode, which they can turn on to cover up the fact that they have nodded off

The "man nod" is an unspoken greeting when you want to acknowledge someones presence, but do not wish to start a conversation with them. The only way to answer a man nod is with another man nod, only verbal part of a man nod is usually a grunt. The man nod is great for being sort of polite even when you dont want to speak to them at all. The man nod can also be done to non men by men, and also used on strangers if your a blokey bloke.
