Don't forget the classic POINT W/ CHIN 🤘🏼

I'm curious to know what people disagree with.
Personally I'm not sure about the left / right thing, but otherwise there really is something beautiful about context dependent nodding.

The one video about guys nodding to each other to get an order of beers is such a textbook example...

When you have a lot to say but don't got a lot of time

Nodding up is the same motion you'd make to say "hey" to a friend

Nodding down is a small bow of respect that exists in like every culture ever

The left/right thing makes no sense and is in no way universal. What if the girl is to your right?

The left right thing is weird, yes.

Both are basically the same: pointing

"Hey, look at this" and "hey, let's get over there and talk"

My left/right nod depends on the physical layout of the land. I either nod towards a girl or a place to talk.

Yes, up is informal and down is formal

The nod up also includes eyebrow raising.

a really funny trait i had pre-transition was doing man nods (presenting female)

i don't think i really processed it as a male thing till i had transitioned

looking back, i wonder if people thought i was weird for that
