I was going to say that!
Iptuous + offensive = Ipsifendous.
:lulz:
this was the EXACT mnemonic I used to remember how to spell it.
Is it vegetable, animal, or managerial?
Well, now that we solved that conundrum (http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/4346/conundrum.jpg), what does the word Iptuous mean, anyway?
:sad:
Wiktionary says "Did you mean impetuous?" ...
CONUNDRUM UNSOLVED!!
.. "having the nature of something ipt" ? :? :?
As far as I can tell it should mean "of something that is self-buffering". :?
The most important protection?
The condition of being the guard himself?
Quis custodiet ipsos asshats?
The best I could do was that "Ipsi" is latin for "self" (more or less) and "fendere" means "defense"... I don't know enough Latin to know if the "ous" is an appropriate use of the root, or to whom it's addressing.
So my honest opinion is that it is some specific kind of move in combat, relating to a defensive action.
