Which way is more common for American students to play this game?

Koreans say "scissors-rock-paper" in Korean. I've heard it so many different ways ...I'm not sure which comes first - scissors or paper? Or would it
be common for Americans to say it both ways?

Thanks.

Koreans also say mook-jji-bba. Which is rock-scissors-paper.
I think Americans say rock-paper-scissor.

I'm an American, and whenever I've played the order is:

Rock, Paper, Scissors, Shoot.
(throwing the item you pick on the word 'Shoot'.

You could just call it Rochambeau and avoid the controversy

Americans say rock paper scissors...then sometimes SHOOT!

[VanIslander]

we did rock-paper-scissors in my Canadian hometown,... never heard of 'shoot!' (U.S. gun culture?)

[UrbanStyle]

Ha yeah the shoot is probably from our US gun culture - but that's ok, governments should fear its citizens, not the other way around:)

I always refer to this site for all of my rock-paper-scissor inquiries.

I am an American (from Detroit actually), and I NEVER said "shoot". Must be something the confederates came up with

I say paper-scissors-rock, because then you can say things like, "I will paper scissors ROCK YOU." It's quite intimidating to the opponent.

Rock Paper Scissors, RPS rolls off the tongue as well.
