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, intending no further battle and hoping that the shot would prove fatal.
