One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

• The Vorpal Blade appeared in D&D and then in NetHack, where the ")" symbol was used to represent weapons dropped on the ground. In either instance, the Vorpal Blade is notorious for beheading, delimbing, or otherwise mutilating one's enemies.
