roshambo

verb /ˌɹoʊʃæmˈboʊ/

  1. To play a game of roshambo in order to decide a point of contention.

    I'll roshambo you for it.

Where it comes from

Unknown. The syllables ro – sham – bo are called out by players to synchronize their timing. Connections to the French surname Rochambeau are a folk etymology, perhaps derived from the vaguely similar Japanese syllables jan – ken – pon.
