That last sounds like a strong verb. I shnick today. I shnack yesterday. I have shnuck.

There are people in the U.S. who call it Ro-Sham-Bo, for unclear reasons.

In Japan the game is called jan-ken, you say "Jan-ken-pon!" when getting ready to throw, and the moves are guu (rock), choki (scissors), and paa (paper).

(FWIW, the *more* commonly used name in Germany is "Schere, Stein, Papier" (scissors, rock, paper). There's a *number* of alternative "names", however - which are said aloud when playing so as to "sync" the players.)

As a Swede, I would say it is rock, scissors, bag, not sack. A påse is much smaller than a sack. Not a handbag, mind, a grocery bag, or a pouch. Actually, I changed my mind, rock, scissors, pouch would work best, in my opinion. Not sack, though.

Aww... not gonna lie, bit disappointed in this one, what with all that's going on in the world. Was looking forward to Brother America going full villain mode.

Edit: I almost get the impression people think I'm *happy* about America rebooting the Third Reich. Nothing further from the truth; I just want to see him read for filth.
