For the first time ever, I was able to use this word in conversation yesterday. I thought I'd share. Enjoy!
Defenestration is the act of throwing someone or something out of a window.
Now, I know Grimm threatened Scotto with a balcony instead of a window, but it's close enough for me! It also gave me a reason to look up the Wikipedia page again, which is a fun (though short) read. It covers the origins of the word and notable defenestrations.
