    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…

      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?
