In Germany it's Schere-Stein-Papier (scissors-stone-paper) or Schnick-Schnack-Schnuck.

Annabel Lamb has a song titled "Rock, paper, scissors, matches".

In the UK here. Have always said 'rock'.

Although in Manchester when I was a kid you also heard 'scissor, pap, brick' which was just weird looking back.

I had to look this one up the first time I heard it. It's based on a misprint in some reference or other that listed under the definition for panda, "Eats, shoots and leaves." The simple typo (inclusion of that comma) changes the meaning from a discussion of the panda's diet, to a description of an armed, homicidal ingrate.

Eats, shoots, leaves is similar to the Aussie expression eats, roots (meaning having sex) and leaves. Does that clear it up? :)

Shadrach is one of the three men in the book of Daniel that were thrown in to a fiery furnace as punishment for not bowing down to an idol. They refused to bow to the idol because they were being faithful to God. They prayed, and God kept them from being consumed by the fire. It is a classic Bible story.

Don't. It's an old joke about girl who has a dinner date and one-night stand with a panda. She thinks he's rude when he walks out straight after sex, and he just says he can't help it; it's in his nature, and that she should just look panda up in the dictionary. She duly does, and it states: "Panda: eats shoots and leaves".

Since then it's also been a short unamusing book about the importance of good punctuation by Lynne Truss. It's all a bit prescriptive, and the title of the book is stolen from the old joke.

'Stolen' is a bit harsh. As far as I know no-one had any copyright on that joke.

For the liquid, solid, and gas, scientists are also calling plasma the fourth state of matter, so that wouldn't work anymore.

Liquid, solid, and gas don't really work, as there are four states of matter, not three.

MESHACH TAYLOR, R.I.P.

Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego is a refrain from 'Shadrach', on the awesome Paul's Boutique, Beastie Boys, 1980s.

I am unaware of any religious connotations...

though they did refer to the god Sadaharu Oh.

P A N D A

Panda eats the 'shoots & leaves' of bamboo.

Panda eats, shoots up the place, and leaves without paying.

'Eats shoots and leaves' illustrates punctuation, as well as the tragic state of Australian amore, according to a variation listed earlier 😜

While I don't expect this to be an accepted answer, I just want to get it out there. For the first one, "Hop, Skip, Jump", even though Hop is the missing word, I've heard "Hop, Step, Jump" before from Shugo Chara, which is a popular kid's anime.

I thought 'stop, drop and roll' must be some American sport reference that I had never heard of.

Turns out if I'm ever in a fire I'm probably going to die.
