<div dir="ltr">Dear Ian et al.,<div>when we discuss expressions related to the “rock-paper-scissors" game, I think it is important to distinguish three components:</div><div>(1) the first part of what is said during the game, i.e. “rock-paper-scissors" proper or something equivalent to it</div><div>(2) the second part of what is said, namely "one-two-three" or an equivalent of this</div><div>(3) the name of the game used to refer to it in a context like "let's play X" or "let's do it with X" - this name is probably often identical or related to (1) or (2)</div><div><br></div><div>In particular, in Russian the "canonical" (1) is "камень-ножницы-бумага", but sometimes this can be a reduced version "камано-магано" (obviously related to "кам(ень)-но(жницы)", or other variants.</div><div>For (2), in Russian "раз-два-три" can be used, but there also exist many other variants. It is these variants of (2) that are shown on the map that Valeria sent. I am not sure they are also used as (3), i.e. the name of the game - for some reason, at least for Russian it is easier to say what are the expressions used for (1) and (2) than for the game as a whole.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Timur Maisak</div><div> </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">пн, 2 мая 2022 г. в 21:06, Валерия Модина <<a href="mailto:st072157@student.spbu.ru">st072157@student.spbu.ru</a>>:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Dear Ian,<div><br></div><div>There is a map of Russian variants of rock-paper-scissors: <a href="https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/WqYRa/1/" target="_blank">https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/WqYRa/1/</a>.

<div dir="auto"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman"">Dear all,</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman"">I’m making a list of non-compositional words for the rock-paper-scissors game or similar games.</span><br>
<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman"">In other words, I’m looking for words for “rock-paper-scissors” that do not consist of words for “rock”, “paper”, and “scissors”, or any other meanings, such as German Schnick Schanck Schnuck, Thai bpao ying choop,
etc.</span><br>
<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman"">I would much appreciate it if you could share with me any words for this game or its kind that do not consist of meaningful words.</span></div>
