For example, 2 + 2 becomes <code>2 2 +</code>, and (2 × 2) ÷ 3 becomes <code>2 2 * 3 /</code>. This comic plays on that, by placing a Polish Sausage (a North American term for {{w|Kielbasa}}) after both halves of the bun instead of between. | For example, 2 + 2 becomes <code>2 2 +</code>, and (2 × 2) ÷ 3 becomes <code>2 2 * 3 /</code>.

| + | The title, "RPS", is an acronym for {{w|Rock-paper-scissors}},(?) a game where people can "throw" one of three moves, Rock, Paper, and Scissors. The outcome is decided by the throws: Rock blunts Scissors, (wins) Scissors cuts Paper, and Paper covers Rock. When a throw is against itself, there is a tie. This game is commonly played to settle conflicts, but there are professional players that play at championships. | ||
The title text is a pun on the fact that ''Reverse Polish Notation'' is also known as ''Postfix notation''. "Fixins" is a Southern US slang for condiments such as mustard, chopped onions, and more. The slang is derived from how you "fix" up, or prepare, your food item whenever you have items that can be customized per person after being cooked. | The title text is a pun on the fact that ''Reverse Polish Notation'' is also known as ''Postfix notation''.
