In the saying "Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades" wasn't there a third one?

Question

Maybe atomic bombs or something like that. my friend says it begins with an "H". the original saying might have been just first two but i think people keep adding clever ones. I dunno.

Answer 1

Atom bombs.

Answer 2

Actually, the newer rules for horseshoes mean that close doesn't count any more. But yes, it was atom bombs.
