Foible
In fencing, foible is "the weak part" of the blade - the section furthest away from the hilt. The "weakness" refers to the loss of control over one's weapon, which can occur when one's foible comes into contact with the opponent's forte (a situation of unfavourable leverage). See also parry and malparry.
