I’m not going to post what it was called where I grew up because it’s gross and likely violates hate speech or epithet rules.
Fucking midwest US.
Ding-dong Ditch, bitches!
This is all I’ve ever heard it called.
FedEx calls it ‘Failed Delivery’.
They don’t knock.
Those FedEx scumbags creep up to your door like a ninja, slap the sticker tag on your door, and sneak off with the package still in the van.
That’s if they knock at all
False, FedEx don’t knock
Ping pong dash over here in Japan

That is way closer to this image than I thought english people ever actually got IRL
I don’t see cold on the cob, which is my favorite.
This couldn’t be written by a brit, dont they call gravy brown sauce and white sauce?
No, brown sauce is brown sauce.
What the hell is brown sauce.
It’s brown…. sauce.
~Duh. Pay attention.~
Hp sauce. It’s like A1 sauce.
My cohorts called it (n-bomb) knocking. Glad I never participated in it with them.
I like this one
Tolkien’s first draft
Huh, never heard that one. My teacher once said “arrêtez donc les conneries avec les sonnettes” so we called it “connettes” but I’m fairly sure that was just a handful of grade 4s, that one year.

And here class is a perfect demonstration of how quickly ingroups and outgroups can form in a society.
It was called knocky door ginger when I was growing up, and ive since learned that my neck of the woods boasts the highest percentage of variation in shades of ginger hair in the UK.
Had to search “ginger” to see which variations would be mentioned here.
Knock Knock Ginger is what I was hoping to find, but that’s close enough
As someone who grew up down south in the UK, it’s “knock down ginger”
I have no idea who ginger is and what they have to do with prank knocking
Also from southern UK and we called it knock down ginger. Looked it up and found this:
https://idiomorigins.org/origin/knock-down-ginger
Where ginger is to move “gingerly” i.e. cautiously or carefully. Can’t comment on how valid that is but that website says the term has been in use since the 19th century.
Uh… Who is going to tell him?
I’m from pretty much bang centre of the UK and we called it Postman’s Knock.
Do you want to know why? Well I’ve no fucking idea. My brother called it that so I called it that.
In Japanese, it’s ピンポンダッシュ which is a transliteration of “ping pong dash.”
Could also just translates to Pin Pon Dash. Yes ピンポン can translate to Ping Pong the game but it literally says Pin Pon which is Japanese onomatopoeia for the doorbell sound.
I guess, but that would be the transliteration of the Japanese onomatopoeia as “pin pon” afaik doesn’t really mean much in English. I thought with “ping pong,” we at least associate with the sound.
Knocky door run is what me and my friends called it (north east England)
“Knock-a-door run”
We are but a simple people.
