The head bobble, head wobble, or Indian head shake refers to a common gesture found in South Asian cultures, most notably in India. This form of nonverbal communication is sometimes referred to as "Indian head shake" or as travel journalist Stephan Wilkinson has described it, "a vague cock of the head." The motion usually consists of a side-to-side tilting of the head in arcs along the coronal plane.[1] It is often performed by the listener in agreement with what is being said by the speaker, such that the speaker perceives there is 'no problem' with the message currently being conveyed.[2]Comment

Bob, you are wasting your time and my time. Seeing as I get paid about 40 times as much for my time as you do for your time, please continue.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment

In an office of 45 about 35 are Bobs. Fortunately they're are on a different project to me. **** knows what they do.
All come in together at 9. Heads down at their desks till 12.30. All move to eating area where they open their tupperware containers of curry and rice and proceed to stink out the building. All back to desks at 1pm, heads down until 5.30 and off they all troop out of the building. They hardly ever speak unless it's in hindi, punjabi or whatever to the Bob next to him. The Bobettes are the quietest creatures on the planet - If they do speak it's in the shy, whispering voice of a small child speaking to the teacher on it's first day at school. One of them even asked the Test Centre manager if they could be excused to go to the toilet
I'm guessing they must be doing something right otherwise why would they be over here?Formerly Sausage Surprise but forgot password on account that had email address from old gigComment

Bob's wage inflation is so high that by the time the Bobs understand what goes on in western businesses and learn to communicate properly their price advantage will have evaporated.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment
