Don't defenestrate That!
Did you know that defenestrate means to throw something or someone out a window? Me either until it showed up as the word of the day.
Can you imagine yelling at someone, "Don't defenestrate that!" I think you would just get some confused looks.
Apparently usually it refers to people being thrown out a window. For example, in 2 Kings 9:30-33 Queen Jezebel is defenestrated.
If ever a word deserved to be the word of the century, I think this should be it, merely on account of coolness and near complete uselessness.
