Damn.. It's just called "Knock and Run" in Australia.

Does Australia finally have one thing we say completely normal?

It was called "Knock and Run" in the UK too - at least in the bits of the UK I lived in.

Well yeah, obviously. I wouldn't want to speak like those inbred idiot web-footed freaks who live a hundred metres away.
