Nodders - silly and annoying

I called them Johnny bags.joke about punk rockers.man puts music on and starts having sex.girl says is that Johnny rotten? He says no I only used it 5 times!

If they were to show the opposite side of the chamber, they will be shaking heads, showing a more negative response. Not to mention low growling, like an uncomfortable Staffordshire bull terrier .

Never heard of nodders either, in my distant youth in Camden they were known as jollybags

Nice if you can view it in that positive light, semperfidelis, but I find it distracting.
Somebody should enlighten the front-row nodders (sorry, did try to think of another word) that, far from attracting agreement or approval, it’s an absolute turn-off.

I think nodding is completely acceptable. There is so much discord in the world that it's good to see gestures of agreement.

I told you that at the top of this page.

Am I correct MT62?

I’m not sure people realise they’re doing it. It may be partly concentration and agreeing silently.

Can't say I've noticed it generally amongst acquaintances.

I ve heard of roger dodgers and party ballooons but i ve never heard of nodders

Nanna8..I doubt that they have considered it. Most of them are not very self aware. Others are so self aware that they wouldn't notice. Rather like when you are dressed for a formal event, driving to venue, or even seated in the venue, say church, you look across at your spouse and say, "Oh no..."

For the OP, there is a known 'thing' in TV interviews where the director cuts to shots of the interviewER, nodding 'sagely' in response to the interviewEE's answers - if they've found a politico who actually answers a question that is . . .

Very annoying! As was that phase of every politician had to be standing in front of a huge flag - or wear badges with their flag on. Pathetic.

I’ve noticed the nodding too. I think they must have been told to do it. Nobody would do it naturally to the degree they are nodding. It looks ridiculous doesn’t it.

I've noticed the nodders too amongst our politicians.

Oh, well done

RR was easy to guess, the bob hair style of Rachel Reeves, though I thought she found what really suited her towards the end.

KH the outspoken, often rude Katie Hopkins, though she's not too bad in real life. It's done for effect.

AR well, let's not go there, but she of the green trousers suit fame looked really nice with her new swishy hairstyle this week.

It’s a bit reminiscent of the nodding dogs you used to see on the back of peoples cars, sitting on the parcel shelf, nodding away.

That’s what I thought this thread was going to be about. Also never heard of nodders in relation to contraceptives???

I get confused in India, where they will nod when refusing something!
