Fire and water
editIn the rock-paper-scissors-fire-water variant, what do the fire and water gestures look like? I've tried searching but this vital information is surprisingly hard to find. 2A00:23C7:548F:C01:D4AF:E337:1EE4:2553 (talk) 02:33, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

Quartz, Parchment, Shears
editSomeone added this as an alternate name for the game, but it's just a joke from Regular Show. Should be removed. Firelily (talk) 23:25, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
Etymology section ordering
editI found it confusing that the article refers to "Roshambo" early in the "Etymology" section before actually defining or explaining what that is. For readers unfamiliar with the term, this can be disorienting, especially since the explanation doesn't come until later under the "Names" section. It might be clearer either to briefly present "Roshambo" as an alternative name in the lead section, or to restructure the article so that "Names" comes before "Etymology".
Would others support tweaking the structure or wording to improve readability for those who don’t already know the term? PatternMatcher (talk) 00:31, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
