no, you are utterly utterly

exactly
"knock down ginger" makes no sense at all. "Chap door run" however, does exactly what it says on the tin. Chap on the door, and run away. Hurrah!

the name doesn't really need to make sense though
once you explain that it means to knock on someones door and scarper that's the end of it

we called it
shitbagging.
cos we'd leave a firecracker in a bag of dog shit, and wait until they opened the door and the bag exploded
