i'll start. i saw a ask reddit post saying something along the lines of "men of reddit whats something women can't understand" and the comments were just. oh my god. the main one that made me want to puke was "when dudes walk by each other and nod" and the whole fucking thread was just fedoras with arms soypogging like it was some secret language or something. "when you nod upwards, it means respect!!!!!1!!11 when you nod downwards its aggression!!!1!11!!!!!" as if women dont do the same shit.

do you guys have something similar to share?

In my neck of the woods, it's nod down for someone you don't know or someone you are being respectful of, and nod up for a friend.

I don't know if I ever learned this anywhere, but I totally do this subconsciously.

I only noticed it when a teacher pointed it out twenty years ago. He had it backwards and we had to correct him
