@cudzoo so this whole phrase "nice tip of the hat to the classics" means I totally acknowledge what you just said or what you just did ?

Usually it means that you do something like they did it, but meaning it as a tribute to them.
Like if you scored a goal and celebrated by doing the same celebration dance as a legendary player.
Or, as a musician, you played a lick made famous by one of your musical heroes.
Or it could be something small. Like you post a meme you think is funny. You can say “tip of the hat” to whomever posted it first.
