Defenestration

Thanks to my coworker A, I learned a new word today:

de·fen·es·tra·tion

  [dee-fen-uh-strey-shuh-n]

noun
the act of throwing a thing or especially a person out of a window:
the defenestration of the commissioners at Prague.
Origin: 
1610–20; de- + Latin fenestr a window + -ation


There is even a lego defenestration:
