... huh.

Defenestration means something TOTALLY different from what I originally thought.

::curious:: What did you think it meant?

*points to the icon I used* Something relating to that. The ass, not the tentacles, per se. I really thought it meant something vaguely-sexual.

What's amazing is that they would even make up a specific word for that. I mean, really, how often was it going to come up in conversation?

...you'd be surprised.

It's historically famous. The Defenestration of Prague springs to mind.

[dragynville.livejournal.com]

Probably not. x_x;

[dragynville.livejournal.com]

Good lord. -_-; Well, that certainly dresses it up.

I have never even HEARD of that. WTF? That sounds more like a punk band name from the 80s.

I'm so with you. I have never once had a conversation that included talking about throwing someone out a window, and we had to grasp for the proper wording.

[windandwater.livejournal.com]

Have you ever defenestrated?

[dragynville.livejournal.com]

Exactly. When eldest brother threatened to throw elder brother out the second floor window, 'defenestration' never came up. XD

Maybe that's the problem, we're not high-class enough. "Pardon me, old boy, but do please cease all that ruckus or else I shall be moved to defenestrate you." XDXD

You mean you haven't?

Yes, I'm late. No, I don't care. You love me anyway.
