Examples of Nodding in a Sentence

1. Jeremy Smith:

   It’s infuriating, eddie was not preaching or teaching or proselytizing or evangelizing. He was reverently nodding his head.

2. Benjamin Risha:

   He was made to smack his mother, he had to do it three times before the smacks were loud enough for Tony Alamo to approve of them … His control was absolute. No one told him no. It was pretty horrible. Something as simple as falling asleep in church could get you in trouble, even though it was the third time you ’d been at church that day, and you had already worked and gone to school and prayed for several hours. We would be nodding off. But if someone went to sleep ? God forbid you got caught. It was pretty bad … I wanted to know what life was like beyond this.

3. Jeffrey McCall:

   Some news accounts simply reference ‘the ransomware attack’ without a specific origin, or point the blame generically at ‘a criminal group in Russia,’ it is curious to see this coverage appear to downplay the Russian connection, particularly whether this cyberattack could have happened without nodding approval from the Russian government.

4. Tasha Horton:

   We did speak to her, she was able to communicate by nodding her head yes and no. She communicated without any fear that she wanted to donate her organs after she passed away.

5. William Powell:

   Cultivate solitude and quiet and a few sincere friends, rather than mob merriment, noise and thousands of nodding acquaintances.
