As far as I can tell, a '''Parthian shot''' is a blow delivered by a retreating [[combatant]], intending no further [[battle]], and hoping the [[blow]] that was left will prove [[fatal]].

The term'''Parthian shot''' refers literally to the practice among the soldiers of [[Parthia]] of firing arrows at the enemy while retreating, intending no further battle and hoping that the shot will prove successfully fatal. In debates, it refers to a (often sarcastic) remark made just before one of the participants leaves, intended to worsen their opponents position.
