Fake, nodding up and down means nothing, or also yes because it’s synonymous wit yes

After living in Bulgaria for two years, I confused many an American waitress shaking my head “no” while verbally stating “yes, I would like more water please.”.

It’s a bit more nuanced. Nodding up means no. Nodding down means yes. Shaking your head side to side (not twisting the neck, just tilting) means yes. Shaking your head with twisting usually means no. As all things it’s no set in stone and can vary from person to person.

The important is the first movement. If you move your head from down to up a few times it means no. But going up to down can still be used as affirmative.
Also we don’t say yes with turning the head left-right, but by tilting it. But it can also be interpreted as a “yes, I guess.” sort of unenthusiastic “yes”.
