Rock, paper, scissors?

Question

I was watching a spanish TV show and they started to play rock, paper, scissors, but the term they used for rock, paper, scissors was something that sounded like "chichampu". Can anybody tell me what this is and what it means?

Answer 1

Cachipún: Piedra, papel o tijera

Answer 2

The players count aloud to three, or speak the name of the game (e.g. "Rock! Paper! Scissors!" or "Ro! Cham! Beau!")

I think that this game has a thousand names. All that matters is that the name has the same 3 beats. When I was a kid, we called it fling, flang, flu. I think that there is some historical connection between it and eenie, meenie, miney, mo.
