How to use "Knock about" in context?
Knocking about is a ritual of West Country youth, where two young people go around the neighbourhood, knocking on doors and asking for a match or a smoke. Often conversation ensues and the young person with the lighter is asked to wander off to another household to collect the firewood, tobacco, or other item being requested. The purpose of the knocking is not necessarily to collect the requested item, but to create a sense of community and to build trust.
