    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.

      Yeah this was my experience. People used the slur n***** knockin’ through all of my childhood 70s and early 80’s but as a young adult in the 90s it was doorbell ditching.
