scissors cut

Blades slice through

Scissors cut is a call in the hand game rock paper scissors, where two fingers extended represent scissors blades.

In the game's circular logic, scissors cuts paper but loses to rock.

The phrase also describes the physical action of cutting with scissors: Make a clean scissors cut along the dotted line.
