what does it mean?

what does it mean?

"bare" is like naked, i.e: walking barefoot is walking with naked foot, without any shoe, sock, etc..
"flank" is like side, sideways, behind, some side not from ahead.

So it is like you are attacking some side unprotected because it is "naked"

Ah I see. Sorry I thought it's some kind of perverted slang for something

Flank can also mean "the side of an animal or a person between the ribs and hip.", and whilst it isn't a slang expression, it is still, in this context, effectively saying the side of a naked human abdomen... imo...

lol... so I won't completely reveal the reason for the name other than its not meant to be slang or gross. "bare" stands for "the bare minimum" and flank refers to "side" but not for a human.

I'm wondering if the devs are bronies. Apparently those guys have this nearly universal misconception that "flank" means "rump".
