#3 res·tive (rstv)
adj.
Uneasily impatient under restriction, opposition, criticism, or delay.
Resisting control; difficult to control.
Refusing to move. Used of a horse or other animal.

[Middle English restif, stationary, from Old French, from rester, to remain, from Latin restre, to keep back : re-, re- + stre, to stand; see st- in Indo-European Roots.]

restive·ly adv.
restive·ness n.
Usage Note: Restive is properly applied to a feeling of impatience or uneasiness induced by external coercion or restriction, and is not a general synonym for restless: The government has done nothing to ease export restrictions, and domestic manufacturers are growing restive (not restless). The atmosphere in the office was congenial, but after five years I began to grow restless (not restive).

"Restive Basra"? How bout "Death Cult homicidal pieces of shit infested Basra"?
