Belly Bounce

A Belly Bounce is described as the act of buffeting someone (e.g. a nosy old bitch) away from you (or your garden) with your sizable gut. The manœuvre necessitates the cry "Belly Bounce!" and to any other party who hears it must respond with "Ling Long Ling".

History
In October 2013, Morrison Wilson of Belfast was reportedly talking to a motorist outside his home, before he was confronted by an old woman who was "sticking her nose in". The woman entered Wilson's garden, and Wilson used his belly to bounce her back out, where she fell to the floor. Wilson stated, "with my big belly, because she was flailing her hands about, I just bounced her back."

Questioned by the prosecution about his claim to have "bounced" his neighbour away, Wilson replied: "What am I going to do? Grab her with my belly?"

It is still a highly disputed subject as to whether Wilson uttered the phrase "Belly Bounce!" before executing the manoeuvre, but regardless, this is the origin of the phrase.

Wilson was convicted of common assault.

Ling Long Ling
In March 2015, after discussing the incident involving Mr Wilson, Russell & Matt received an email from a listener who told of how their autistic brother did a version of the belly bounce manoeuvre, only he had called them Ling Long Lings. The two incidents were linked by a common aesthetic, and it was at this moment the Belly Bounce and the Ling Long Ling became one.
