Picture, if you will, someone nodding their head. And now, picture them shaking their head. I'm hoping that you are picturing the same thing as me. Because it drives me crazy when I hear someone describing another's action as "You're shaking your head 'Yes'" or something to that effect. To me, and what I've always pictured, is that nodding the head means an up and down motion (as in indicating 'Yes') and shaking the head means alternately pointing the face side to side (as in 'No'). What do you think?
