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.
Ping pong dash over here in Japan

Ding-dong Ditch, bitches!
This is all I’ve ever heard it called.
Ding dong ditch
Ooh you touch my tralala
Oooh my ding ding dong!
I can feel the greasy sweat from just the memory of that music video…
Urgh same memories…
The only answer
Same energy
Nah ding dong ditch runs closer to generally benign naming convention common in the English speaking areas of North America where it could be something benign or it’s something mildly horrific like Willy Pete (White Phosphorus) or Bouncing Betty (A type of land mine).
Mh? Is knicky knocky nine doors malevolent? I thought the dickensesque characteristic meant whimsical and old timey, which fits for ding dong ditch imo
I was referring to how ding dong ditch is less in the dickensesque category and more in the North American is this fine or a euphemism for a war crime category. Ding dong ditch could just as easily fall aling blow bang suck as it could along Willy Petes surprise.
FedEx calls it ‘Failed Delivery’.
They don’t knock.
No, that’s the Feds.
That would be if they arrived at the wrong door.
And then shot your dog.
Classic Feds giving the ol “shoot an innocent being” tactics
No that’s Mr. White
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
That is way closer to this image than I thought english people ever actually got IRL
FORCEY FUN TIME, jesus christ XD
Struggle snuggle
I don’t see cold on the cob, which is my favorite.
I prefer being american than talking like this lowk 😭🙏
It’s why there are so many independence day celebrations dotted around the world.
Independence days are the chief export of England
Makes sense, i wouldn’t like to be a br’tish colony either
Most of those aren’t real lol
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.
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.
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.
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.
Where I grew up in Vic it was called going ‘knick knocking’ in the 80s
Yeh, we called it that in Liverpool
U wot m8?! U 'avin a giggle? The right bananas I say it is!
In the US south they use a racial slur, because of course
Mhm, midwest US and N***** Knocking was what we were told it was called, because of course.
It became Ding Dong Ditch once we grew up a little.
If it came from the old world as “Knicky Knocky,” it would make sense* that the racist US version would sound similar to that.
/* As much as any racist shit “makes sense,” of course.
Honky Hookin’
Not sure what OP’s mom has to do with anything
Rural southern person here we called it Knock, Knock, Dash how is that racist?
I grew up in a very bigoted Southern town that was still firing people from schools for being gay in the 2000s, and they still frown on interracial marriage. The N Word was a regular part of life growing up.
We called it Ding Dong Ditch.
Heard that one too. And I grew up in racist state and town they had open KKK stickers on their bumpers but still never heard a racist version. Which guess I am grateful for.
It apparently used to be called ni**er knocking. I’m in the rural south too, and I’ve always known it as dong, dong, ditch.
But then again my mom was arrested at a civil rights rally (on the side of black people being equal), so my upbringing might have something to do with it.
Crazy! and my mom and dad are both racist, my dad more so and never heard that version. But probably more my dad being that racist to him probably frown on such behavior or more he was shelter enough never to learn of such things. He did grow up on a farm.
I do unfortunately had tons of racist jokes told to me which sucks having those rattling around in my brain pan.
sucks having those rattling around in my brain pan.
we aren’t responsible for everything what got put into our heads, just everything we pass on from them.
if it helps, sometimes i take that shit, write it down (and burn all evidence of it) to see if it gets it out of the brainpan. like how listening to the song you’ve had stuck in your head gets it out finally.
In 1980s deep south (not even rural) I definitely heard it called n* knocking.
Your experience does not disprove mine, as a fellow southerner
it’s not. but you’re not the only one down there and you were, apparently, raised right. ;)
Spent some childhood in coastal Mississippi and I can attest this is the case
My cohorts called it (n-bomb) knocking. Glad I never participated in it with them.
I like this one
Tolkien’s first draft
The Fuckoffship of the Ring
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.
On dit sonne-decrisse a Montreal ntk
I regret to inform Gemma that calling it Chappy is also some “Charles Dickens shite”
FYI chap is Scots for knock. So it’s essentially called Knocky. That ain’t very Dickens.

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.
ding dong dash ?
And here class is a perfect demonstration of how quickly ingroups and outgroups can form in a society.
