"Defenestration (from Modern Latin fenestra[1]) is the act of throwing someone out of a window."
This is totally random, but I got a good laugh out of it so I figured I would share. I was watching a video on Youtube from a lawyer and he brought this up.

Wasn’t it at the Palazzo Vecchio your ancestor was hanged? Francesco de'Pazzi? Yes thrown naked with a noose around his neck from the window? Writhing and kicking alongside the archbishop against the cold stone wall? In fact, I found a very nice rendering of it here in the library the other day. If you'd like perhaps I could sneak it out for you.

Being thrown from a building is hysterical!!! This one will make you really guffaw, OP.

I had a language teacher in high school who always threatened to defenestrate errant students. Her classroom was on the first floor, so it wasn't exactly scary, but I never forget her or the word.
