"unchivalrous",   a sexist classist system not to the taste of all
 "rude",   a matter of interpretation
 "discourteous",   not being courtly, doesnt sound that bad, changes 
depending on location and period
 "a cheat"?,    not taking a blow you do not feel was good is exactly 
the rule
 "One who will not accept a good blow."       Once put to me by a duke I 
met on the list as I was about to walk off from a "fair" - If you have 
to think about whether it was good or not, it wasn't"
