People don’t all call it ding dong ditch🤔

'we called it knicky knicky nine doors

It’s just called knock and run where I live.

I believe it’s the accepted method of responding to a crime for the Metropolitan Police.

In Indiana we called that “White Rabbit”!
If you went up and cussed at the person opening the door we called it “Black Rabbit”.
I had a friend that got caught by a parent doing that and he got escorted home and the neighbor told his mother! 😅

Ding dong ditch.

"Door bell ditch" when I was growing up.

Chinese Doorbell

Knicky kNicky nine doors when my friends and i did it on the neighbours in the seventies

I guess its called ding dong ditch. I thought ding dong ditching was when you ring their doorbell and run but I guess in the US its called that too when you knock and run

We called it "Knock-a-door-run-away", which is exactly what it says on the tin.

We never had a name for. We just called it having fun. Lol

We used to call it knock knock ginger when I was a kid.

... I always called it knock door run. Maybe I have no creativity.

Knock-a-door, Ginger.

"Knock 'n' run"

Knock-a-door where i am

We just call it knocking on the door

Ding and dash

Nick Knocking

It was called cherry knocking where I grew up...fluck knows why!?

Wait... I hate it when people throw a walrus at my grandma?

"Toccata e fuga" ("hit and run", or literally "touch and escape")

Knocker

I call it rude 🤣

Ding dong ditch

You look like the gems girl in the pic

We never did that round here -.we would steal flowers from their gardens, and sometimes wreck their letter boxes with crackers or a cricket bat (my brother's did this ....I was never invited ).
But never ringing on doorbells.
We kinda knew everyone in our neighbourhood 🤷

Knock down ginger

Dunno -- I always called it "stupid".

Stupid fucking teens, is what my parents would’ve said lol

We used to call it Fuck it just do it 🙂
