the israely chant

Fire Bat

in israel we don't tend to do "one-two-tree" with the motion each time. there are therefore two forms of "chants". the long one:
"e'ven ni'yar oomispara'yim hamenatse'ah bein hashna'yim ahat shtaim shalosh" (meaning- rock paper and scisors the winner out of them both one two three). this version is very long, and since kids usualy use this to deside who will be first in the game, and they dont have much patience, a shorter version has somehow evolved: "e'ven... juck!" meaning literaly- rock... cockroach! I have no idea how and when this evolved.
