Groin attack?

[edit]

Isn't that just a South Park joke? Unless references are produced, I'm gonna rewrite it. --OpenFuture (talk) 20:45, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rather than a rewrite, perhaps the article should just redirect to Rock-paper-scissors. TJRC (talk) 21:24, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I too was wondering if is just in South Park. If you rewrite are you going to leave it and just say that that usage is from South Park? Cause I think the South Park meaning has become more wide spread than the original.Audiovore (talk) 22:44, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not interested in participating in the low-grade edit war going on here, but IP address may be right. Personally, I am more familiar with Roshambo as rock-paper-scissors, but today I saw this MSNBC article referring to Roshambo as a groin attack: Groin-punch ‘game’ harms more boys. I'd never seen that usage before (as a groin attack), so I went Googling the term Roshambo and came to this page. You may wish to create a disambiguation page between the two uses of the term. Anyway forgive me for this completely drive-by comment; I won't be watching this page, but I thought it might be helpful to let you know it's been referred that way in the mainstream press.

That article clearly states that calling this "Roshambo" is only after the south-park episode. You'll need more reliable sources than one to start an article on "Sack-tapping", and only then could this be a disambiguation page between rock-paper-scissors and sack-tapping. --OpenFuture (talk) 17:00, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well, there is Sack tapping. Nonetheless, this page should continue to redirect to Rock-paper-scissors; that's clearly its primary meaning. At most, Rock-paper-scissors could include a {{Redirect}} template pointing to Sack tapping. TJRC (talk) 18:06, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
[edit] I've now added that template. TJRC (talk) 18:17, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
