I would rather have a nod from an American, than a snuff-box from an emperor.

Snuff at a wake is fine if there's nobody sneezing over the snuff box.

You should make sure the engine is all up to snuff.

Do not use a single word to explain the meanings of statements or statements made meaningfully example probe, nod, etc.... These are the words that hide more than they reveal.

with a nod and a wink.

Is there decency left in American politics?
