Defenes... WHAT?!

[kristensk]

I learned something tonight... There is a verb for, "to throw out of a window". It is "defenestrate". And, it is real. Also confirmed in my Webster's II New College Dictionary from 1995.

I just... I... have no idea why you need it.

It's when you're demonstrating ways of defending yourself... such as defenestrating someone annoying.

::eyes your icon:: Or expelling freeloaders with big appetites?

Or those who dare mock your height?

Bah! The window is too good for such people!

True. We'd have to look for taller areas... or lower areas... like under a bus. Hrm...

Wait... so what's the word for throwing someone under a bus?

::DIES!:: I hope there's no word just for that...

But, if there is: (under the bus) with all those who would mock a person's height!

Yes! And then, we celebrate!
