Just cleaned it up a bit. The "parthian shot" was a tactic (feigned retreat), not a move used in a real retreat
A "Parthian shot" is a criticism leveled by someone as they leave a group. It is named after the Parthians, who where ancient peoples of [[Parthia]] who had the unusual habit of shooting arrows at their adversaries while retreating on horseback.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 13:43, 12 March 2007 (EDT)

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.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 13:43, 12 March 2007 (EDT)
