noddy
Tame brown tern
A noddy is a simpleton or fool—someone who nods along without thinking.
The word is British and old-fashioned: Don't be such a noddy.
In television production, a noddy is a reaction shot of an interviewer nodding, filmed separately and edited in later.
Noddies are also tropical seabirds, named for their tame, seemingly foolish behavior around humans.
