Phrase to nod off
Text The phrase "to nod off," in this podcast, means to fall asleep or begin to sleep, especially when and where it is inappropriate to do so: "Harold was fired for nodding off during an important business meeting." The verb "to nod" means to move one's head up and down to show that one agrees with something or to answer "yes": "Gillian asked Megan if she understood, and she nodded." The phrase "to nod in agreement" means the same thing: "Most of the people in the audience nodded in agreement when they heard what the speaker was saying." Finally, the phrase "to nod at (someone)" means to move one's head up and down one time in order to greet someone without saying "hello": "I don't know him well, but we always nod at each other when we pass on the street."
