I agree with this, though I must admit I am thrilled that someone else
mentioned "the Indian Head waggle" Can anyone tell me how that came about?
---
I love the Indian head waggle. It's a fantastic bit of body language, and I'm
trying to add it to my repertoire. The head waggle says, in a uniquely
unenthusiastic way, "OK, that's fine." In terms of Western gestures, its
meaning is somewhere between the nod (though less affirmative) and the shrug
(though not quite as neutral).
To perform the head waggle, keep your shoulders perfectly still, hold your face
completely expressionless, and tilt your head side-to-side, metronome style.
Make it smooth—like you're a bobble-head doll. It's not easy. Believe me,
I've been practicing.
