hat tip
Gentlemanly greeting gesture
A hat tip is a gesture of acknowledgment or appreciation, originally the literal tipping of one's hat to greet someone.
Online, it credits a source who brought information to your attention, often abbreviated as h/t or HT: Hat tip to @journalist for the link.
The phrase retains its courteous, slightly old-fashioned flavor even in digital contexts.
