What is Roshambo?

In the MechaStreisand episode, Cartman keeps talking about Roshambo being some game of two people kicking each other in the nuts. I thought that Roshambo was another name for rock-paper-scissors. What's up with this?

It's what Cartman says it is. The other day I saw some two Chinese men in an arena kickin' each other in the nuts!! I only saw it for a minute and I thought, "What the hell?" Anyway.....

If you see:

a) a man kicking himself in the nuts b) two women kicking each other in the nuts c) a (wo)man kicking a dog in the nuts d) a dog getting kicked in the nuts by a chicken e) a horse without nuts kicking a woman in the nuts f) a cat licking a dogs nuts

then you may go what the hell but not until one of the above is seen by you or someone you cna trust.

Are you sure you weren't watching Thai rules kickboxing? Anyway, I've been hooked on this damn Roshambot for the past two days, and have seen many pages describing 'Roshambo' as rock paper scissor. While I can find no connection between that game and Cartman's game, I can't find any connection between a kick in the nuts and a French general, either. Maybe it's another rainbows type thing.

Ok I have to settle this once and for all. Rochambaeu was a french genral who came over in the civil war I believe. One of the well known- but little mentioned facts about this general is that in hand to hand combat when he was geting beat or angry he would kick his opponet in the testicles and then kill them. Just to clear this up once and for all. P.S. It is also a nick name for the game Rock Scissors Paper so my best guess is that they combined the two.
