Don't you guys mean rock scissors paper?

Don't think I've ever heard anyone use the term paper scissors rock it's counter intuitive.

Weird, i grew up always saying "scissors-paper-rock". I'd sometimes hear people refer to it as "rock paper scissors" but during a game we always did SPR cause of the syllables, like how people explained above but for PSR...

There is only one way to do it.
Rock-paper-scissors

Just the very way it roles of the tongue, is enough to prove it to be the superior way to say the phrase.

And as a killer, google calls it 'Rock Paper Scissors!

RPS sounds to me like nails slowly scratching down a chalkboard.
