[edit] "Knock Down Ginger is a child's game"

Though obviously a children's game is usually childish, it would seem more fitting to just state it's a "children's game", wouldn't it? --LarsMessy 19:27, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm sure it's a teen/college/drunk adult game, too.--Pittsburghmuggle 21:12, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Names for game

Another name for this is "nigger knocking" - albeit a racist phraseology, I think it should be included in the article. --24.178.4.45 22:29, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

We called it "nigger knocking" when I was a kid in the 80's, too. I'm not particularly proud of it, but that's what my neighbors who introduced me to it called it. Thankfully, my kids call it "ding dong ditch".--Pittsburghmuggle 11:32, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

In NYC, we called it "Ring and Run" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.216.75.111 (talk) 19:18, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Seconded... in New Jersey, I have only heard it called "Ring and Run," where you ring a doorbell and run away. Can someone please add this?--Amada 18:37, 03 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Arrestable Offense

Citation needed for saying that its an arrestable offence. 82.152.155.58 12:04, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deterrent

Added a paragraph about possible deterrent that is commonly known at least where I grew up, fairly sure I've seen it in movies also. If it is not the right place for it feel free to move or delete after giving a good reason for such action.(IRMacGuyver (talk) 11:32, 7 December 2007 (UTC))

Found it in other section about pop culture. This article requires major clean up. Any sugestions would be helpful.(IRMacGuyver (talk) 11:40, 7 December 2007 (UTC))
