Word of the Day

defenestrate \dee-FEN-uh-strayt\, transitive verb:
To throw out of a window.

I get a new word emailed to me every day. I particularly like today's and have decided to throw it casually into a conversation tomorrow. I may have to actually perform a blatant act of defenestration in order to have an excuse to use the word, but I promise to check first for unsuspecting passers by (I work on the sixth floor).
