→Examples on Conservapedia: clean up & uniformity
A "'Parthian shot"' is a criticism leveled by someone as they leave a group. It is named after the Parthians, the ancient people of [[Parthia]] who used the innovative cavalry tactic of feigning retreat and then, as their enemies pursued them, twisting around and shooting arrows at their adversaries.
A '''Parthian shot''' is a criticism leveled by someone as he leaves a group. It is named after the Parthians, the ancient people of [[Parthia]] who used the innovative [[cavalry]] tactic of feigning retreat and then, as their enemies pursued them, twisting around and shooting arrows at their adversaries.
It is sometimes referred to as a "parting shot".
The Parthian shot saw dramatic usage in the defeat of [[Crassus]], where, according to [[Plutarch]], Parthian soldiers facing west in the early morning used the sun reflecting off their armor to blind their enemies. They then circled them to barrage them with arrow fire, and rode away, executing the Parthian shot maneuver to [[decimate]] those still standing.
