cruising from page to page on the web, I came upon the game of 'Rock - Paper - Scissors'.
I have never played this game, and all things that required such a game of outcome in my youth, were decided by a good old fashioned coin toss.
I decided to further my already highly advanced education by looking up the R-P-S rules.
On the page was a reference to 'Ging-gang-walla' which is (apparently) a slang name for R-P-S in the south east of England.
I haven't heard 'Ging-gang-walla' used for over 50 years.
The last time I heard it I was a young boy, and my dad and uncle, in the midst of a highly important decision, maybe of which pub to go, used to say 'We'll settle it with a game of 'Ging-gang-walla'
It sounded Indian to me, like char-wallah, punka-wallah, etc.
If memory serves (and it generally does) I never once saw them play the game.
I'm just pleased to know what the f*ck they were on about over half a century ago.
For the more advanced on here, you have to see 'Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock', invented by Sheldon Cooper in The Big Bang Theory.

I've never heard RPS called 'Ging-Gang-Walla', but when I belonged to a right wing paramilitary organisation we used to sing a song called 'Ging-Gang-Goolie' - I wonder if there's a connection?
