"She shook her head yes"
This line is all you need to see to know that this person is a moron or a lunatic.
You don't shake your head to say yes.
Whenever I see that line in books, I have taken it to mean a reluctant yes. As if the person is both shaking their head in exasperation and conceding something to the other person.
It's definitely a sign of being disingenuous. Either outright lying or placating the listener.
