Wicklow-centric Meaning of Liff definitions #12

Knockadoo (n.)

A willful act of violence disguised as a group dance, wherein the instigators put their arms around each other's shoulders and dance in a circle in the full knowledge that other innocent dancers will join the melee and knock the living daylights out of everyone else on the floor. Quite often perpetrated at birthday parties and wedding receptions where the intended victims are trapped inside the circle. Similar to a Coolafunshoge (q.v.), but with malice aforethought.
