Get the Defenestration mug.The act of throwing someone out of a window. It was repurposed for discussion among intellectual circles to refer to cases in history in which a leader or influential individual was forcefully deposed from power and replaced by the person who deposed them. Originally repurposed due to the creation of the French First Republic, when many Jacobin loyalists (radical anti-monarchists) threw sympathisers of constitutional monarchy (moderate revolutionary) out of windows to fill their representative seats with other Jacobin loyalists.

Get the Defenestrate mug.The act of throwing someone out of a window, otherwise know as every 9th grade English teacher's favorite word. They will often give a demonstration on how it works on the student who doesn't understand after a week.
Student 1: Did you see what happened to Jack?
Student 2:Did the crazy English teacher have to demonstrate defenestration again?
Student 1: Yeah...how did you know?
Student 2: I've experienced the pain of being thrown out of that second story window.

Get the Defenestration mug.The act of launching a living person out of a window in Prague, with considerable speed. Preferably an Austrian Embassador, albeit a priest who has his own opinions works out fine as well.
Having happened thrice (1419, 1483 and 1618), Prague is the town with the highest risk of being defenestrated from behind, while simply enjoying the view!!!
So, should you ever visit the Czech Capital (its nice there), be careful to always maintain a safety distance of roundabout 7 metres from ALL windows, ESPECIALLY in town halls and/or other official buildings!!!!!!!!!
