Rock, Paper, Scissors says ... Shoot

I don't know when says was added to the phrase but I nearly lost an important game with my son last night

Rock, paper, scissors match.
All right, rock beats paper!

I thought paper covered rock?

Nah, rock flies right through paper.

What beats rock?

Nothing beats rock.

All right, come on.

Rock, paper, scissors match.

Rock.

Rock.

even though I know logically it should just be "Rock, Paper, Scissors, shoot."

Also, anyone saying "set" ...stay away from my family.
I never played this as a kid

But we had this debate at work last year. It seems most NYers said "says shoot" with a smattering of "and shoot" I think that's how I've heard it.

We used to do events and odds..."once, twice, three shoot" Now I look at that and wonder how you go from once, twice to three.
