Rock, Paper, Scissors or Scissors, Paper, Stone?

[StormCloud52]

My sister laughed at me for saying one of these but I’m sure it’s what we grew up with and it was the more common, which has now changed to the other.

YABU - Only one is acceptable
YANBU - Both are in common usage

Yep- scissors paper rock for me in Aus too.

I don't understand rock paper scissors would work; the beats are all wrong 😆

the only acceptable version

I also remember a brief phase of playing Cat, Tinfoil, Microwave!

Rock, paper, scissors, fire, meteor attack

scissors paper stone definitely, and my dc laugh at me for calling it that instead of rock paper scissors. I always assumed it was a uk/us difference

I actually think you’re right and it’s a Mandela effect - I’m sure I called it SPS as a kid

My question is where did the shoe come from??

Rock Paper Scissors is all I've come across.

I grew up with Scissors Paper Stone, and taught it to my dc. Dc1 learnt Rock Paper Scissors at school, and RPS took over at home as well.

A WELL?! I need to know more!

Nobody else for Cat Glass Pudding?

Only ever called it rock paper scissors

I've only ever heard rock, paper, scissors.

I spent years thinking my DC were saying 'Rock, paper scissors, shoe' before I realised it was 'shoot' for "go". I always wondered which ones the shoe would beat 😂.

It was definitely scissors, paper stone when I grew up (South East England in the 80s).

I've only ever heard Rock Paper Scissors but I'm not sure I count as a data point because - brace yourselves - I'd never heard of the game till after I'd left university.

A couple of years after that I was talking to someone who said he didn't know the game: "some of us didn't go to private school". He's a bit older than me, probably 60ish now, North-East.

Scissors paper stone. Grew up in West of Scotland (where we also didn't Trick or Treat!) . I still stubbornly call it this .

Rock, paper, scissors!

To my shame, we used to call it "ching, Chang, chong" 😨

I think it may be regional. I’m the same age as you and always played rock, paper, scissors.

Knocking-nine-doors here.

But the rock, paper, scissors dispute is between me and my sister, so not regional.

Me too! Also Australian!

As per pp!

Yes, that’s the one I remember. Long time ago! The rock one I think was American —I’ve noticed that Americans call stones rocks. A rock to me is something much bigger than a stone you could hold in your hand. But the US one is in common usage here now.

Nope
