1 for RPS (shoot)
2 for PRS (shoot)

A conversation with my neighbors got me thinking that this game may be called differently depending on your age, region, or race. Just curious what the OT thinks.

Is your neighbor of the opinion it's #2?

If so, what region, age or race is he? Cuz nobody round here thinks it's #2.

I would start to wonder about someone if they called it paper scissors rock. That just sounds stupid

It’s like calling smeer the queer, man with the ball or some other dumbshit name
