Defenestration - (noun) - 1: a throwing of a person or thing out of a window; 2: a usually swift dismissal or expulsion (as from a political party or office)

There is a wonderfully calming effect of the defenestration of an offending item, though one should open the window first, or you'll have cleanup to do.

I'm still ashamed I threw my math books  out the window after graduating high-school.

I came across this word in a book I was :read:. The MC threw one of the bad guys out of a window, and another MC used that word when describing what transpired. I recall, I was more surprised there was a word to describe this act than of the deed itself. I mean, he didn’t die, and he was a bad guy after all.  ;)
