Standoffish

Someone that wasn't friendly with Louis XIII would always bark about/threaten with beatdown this or reserving the right to beat his ass that, always getting standoffish with him if they even thought he was going to do something they didn't like whether he had done it yet or hadn't (which doing something somebody doesn't like should give someone else the right to kill you, and nobody likes getting threats from an instigator, so nothing works out and no deals/compromises are made between the two unfriendly parties).

More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
