You can see the soul captured as it leaves the man's body.

No, I'm rather certain that's got all the context right there.

They're playing roshambo. No other context needed.

One of my friend's kids said he and his friends always played roshambo to decide things. I stood in disbelief for a minute before asking if he knew what that meant. He said it was just rock paper scissors. And then I proceeded to educate him on what it really meant. Not by example though.

Huh, I've only heard the term in relation to South Park. Which still is rock paper scissors IIRC, but the loser gets kicked in the balls. So yea, none of the kids were kicking each other in the nuts.

I thought it was taking turns kicking each other in the balls until someone gives in. The trick is, of course, that whoever gets kicked first loses every single time. It's probably a joke about very real "slap fights" where guys will take turns slapping each other as hard as they can.

Sack tapping is also called "nut tag", "bag tag", "sack whack", "bell flicking" and "roshambo", the last name coming from an episode of South Park that featured the practice.

seems like we have a lot to learn from a "no context" community
