Scissors paper rock. Seriously, that's the way my brother and I grew up saying it, and it has a nice sort of momentum to it. I've had to change to RPS to stop confounding all you other conformists.

I say Rock Rock Rock, because everybody knows scissors break and paper would really just be blown off by the wind or a fan.

RPS. Always open with R R R, it's called the Avalanche. Use it wisely, it has been known to smother the opposition.

Agreed.


Rock-Paper-Scissors is like the trash way to say it. It's Ro-Sham-Bo

Anyone else remember doing Ro-Sham-Bo in that Sega game in the 80's? A video game said it right. If you took nothing else away from a game you should have at least learned that :)

I thought Ro Sham Bo was a tournament of torture involving 2 guys taking turns kicking each other in the nuts as hard as they can.

A match between you and I would end in a draw my friend.

Rock, Scissors, Paper, Shoot!

Roshambo or Rock Paper Scissors.

Around here, you usually do not say anything. You either put out your fist or put your fist on your hand, open palm up. Then you would shake your fist up and down (or hit it against your hand) and throw out your selection on the third shake (so, 1, 2, throw).
