What do you call the game with scissors, paper and rock

[Jintor]

for bonus points post where you're from with your answer since I expect an American/UK/Australian split on this.

Roshambo/Janken answers are acceptable but not polled
now polled

if a mod can think of a better way to frame the title without pre-loading an answer but still keeping the meaning intact please go ahead and change it

I also like how the OP is trying to subtly lure us onto the path of sin. Get thee behind me, Jintor !

Alternatively, maybe the order got fucked up in Australia because of the same thing that makes the toilets go the wrong way.

I never really thought about which words I say in which order. Maybe Rock, paper, scissors?

Although when I had to really think of the name for it I remembered "janken'. That is because of playing Alex Kidd in Miracle World.

Also I'm in Australia.
