Nerd Signaling

Nerd signaling is the conspicuous expression of stereotypical skills or values held by nerds, done primarily with the intent of enhancing social standing among nerds; commonly used as a pejorative characterization to criticize what can be seen as empty, or superficial support, of nerd culture.

"That's the power of math, people!" - Tilly, on Star Trek: Discovery, nerd signaling to every viewer that she's a smartypants just like them

Signal Song

The prearranged song you play when you are about to get busy.

I heard that old Mark Chesnutt signal song playing downstairs, and I knew he was getting ready to bang the hag.

Kiss-signaling

When a someone kisses you and then stops and waits -- often signaling for you to take over/that they want sex, but they are not participating in any capacity or trying to turn their partner on at all.

We were watching netflix and she just kept kiss-signaling me all night, but then just sitting there and doing nothing. I haaaaate that kind of passive aggressive advance.
