    Well, it's not a nod and not a bow, it's like in between them. When you rise a bit off your seat, take off your hat, move your hand with the hat down and aside, make a deep nod or a shallow bow (idk) and put your hat back on while dumping yourself back on the seat.
    Kinda like that.
    Another month ends. All targets met. All systems working. All customers satisfied. All staff eagerly enthusiastic. All pigs fed and ready to fly.

    Actually I'd say your English is perfectly good at the nuances, no problem there at all.
