I love calling it Arnold Palmer! Not sure why.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

Ok, and Urban Dictionary says roshambo is when two guys kick each other in the balls until one of them falls over. Which doesn't sound like any version of rock-paper-scissors I've ever played.

Guinness and Harp is called an Arnold Palmer? What weird-ass, golf-obessed part of the world does THAT?
See, this is part of why! Arnold Palmer is iced tea and lemonade. I've never called that a half and half, actually. And is Guiness and Harp not a black and tan?

"Black and tan" has unfortunate historical issues -- for some people -- with the British forces sent into Ireland in the (IIRC) 1920s to bust some Irish ass (the forces were nicknamed "Black and Tans").
To avoid that, the drink is often called a half and half.
Perhaps only by (1) drink snobs or (2) people who are Irish or are snobs about Irish matters.

I certainly hope that's Rochambeau.
From Wikipedia:
In this use, roshambo is sometimes spelled ro-sham-bo, as if to represent the three parts of rock, paper, and scissors. The origin of the term "rochambeau" to refer to rock, paper, scissors is obscure.

Not everyone calls it that.
What's your Arnold Palmer-ized version of a half and half?

half sweet lemonade, half unsweetened iced tea
It was the standard beverage at the WASPy summer place I worked at in Maine. And has been for a long time. Before any golfer got involved anyways.
