"I am rock. Scissors are ok. Nerf paper"

and before you start whining about how you don't understand the term Nerf;
It's not WoW-specific. Translates to "give tunepole".

A nerf is a change to the rules of a computer game that weakens a certain
object(s). For example, if a game designer changed a powerful sword into a
'nerf' sword made of soft foam, the power of the sword would be dramatically
lowered. This classic example is believed to be the origin of the term 'nerf'.

The term 'nerf' comes from the childsafe Nerf toys of soft foam and plastic,
which are often made in the shape of guns, bats, or other weapons. It was
first popularized in EverQuest, one of the first large-scale massively
multiplayer online games.
