Doffed

And considering how the director has doffed his cap for its gameplay, that isn’t just an idiosyncrasy.

One former Military Head of State once doffed his hat for a senior of his who was also former President of Nigeria over his uncommon ingenuity at managing criticism from the press.

Novak Djokovic, back in the United States Open final in style, had just hugged his wife, Jelena, and doffed his cap theatrically as some of his friends bid him farewell for the night.

All Mudville had assembled – ten thousand fans had come to see the twirler who had put big Casey on the bum; and when he stepped into the box, the multitude went wild; he doffed his cap in proud disdain, but Casey only smiled.

And when, responding to the cheers, he lightly doffed his hat, no stranger in the crowd could doubt 'twas Casey at the bat.
