tip of hat
Courteous head covering
A tip of the hat is a gesture of acknowledgment, respect, or greeting—originally the literal act of briefly lifting or touching one's hat brim when passing someone.
Now mostly figurative, it signals recognition or tribute: The film's opening scene is a tip of the hat to Hitchcock.
The phrase often appears as tip of the hat to someone or something deserving credit.
