What is headshake?

A shake of the head from left to right in a 45 degree angle which usually means a "Maybe", i.e. Neither a Yes nor a No.

Typically used in India and nearby regions to say "yes" out of politeness or duress, but really meaning a "maybe".

1. There are times when the Indian headshake can be useful. Like when your girlfriend or wife asks you whether she has gained weight.

2. Seagull Manager: Can you get this presentation done by this evening...

Junior Employee (fearing for his job): I think so

Seagull Manager: Great, I'll expect it in my email by 4pm.

Headshake - what is it?

An experience only in Tijuana Mexico, where the waiters cock your head back and pour an enourmous amount of Tequila down your throat while blowing a whistle then they shake the man's head vigerously if it's a female they pick them up and spin them around.
Also a song writen by Ed and Cam.

I was so hammered from that Tequila Headshake, I was giving a porcelain handshake for an hour.

What does "headshake" mean?

A girl or woman who makes frequent, repeated quick side-to-side head motions (as someone indicating a "no" gesture would), ostensibly to clear the face of loose hair but actually often used as a method to quickly and surreptitiously scan her surroundings without chancing anything beyond the briefest eye contact with those nearby, and/or to attract attention.

"I think that brunette headshaker has her eye on you, Fred."
