    Damn… It’s just called “Knock and Run” in Australia.

    Does Australia finally have one thing we say completely normal?

    In Japanese, it’s ピンポンダッシュ which is a transliteration of “ping pong dash.”

    Well, knocking on doors is some 19th century tech level stuff, so Charles Dickens is actually really fitting.

    I personally don’t know of a single house/apartment around my home that doesn’t have some form of electrical bell.
    Is this some British cultural thing not having door bells?
