Word of the Day…

I learned a new word today, and its possibly my most favorite word ever, beating out "doughty" (which I learned from reading The Lord of the Rings in middle school). And the word of the day is:

defenestration.

Defenestration is defined as being the act of throwing someone or something out of a window. I was not hitherto aware a word such such as defenestration existed, and am quite frankly astounded that a word was created to describe such an action.

I picked up the word today while watching an old episode of Dark Angel online.
