Damn.. It's just called "Knock and Run" in Australia.
Does Australia finally have one thing we say completely normal?
Ding dong dash is what we called it in the Midwest, US.
Ding dong ditch?
I have heard that one.
It was called "Knock and Run" in the UK too - at least in the bits of the UK I lived in.
You guys have a different dialect for every block in your city though.
Well yeah, obviously. I wouldn't want to speak like those inbred idiot web-footed freaks who live a hundred metres away.
Knock and Run in my part of the UK growing up.
Yeh, we called it that in Liverpool
Where I grew up in Vic it was called going 'knick knocking' in the 80s
No you sound ridiculous calling it that /s
This is why I hate the Internet.
You should be free to say that without /s
I am ridiculous.
