Isn’t ‘defenestration’ what was being discussed? That’s ‘throwing out a window’, and most folks today use the term figuratively, so it’s not really a physical threat.
“Defenestration” is not just throwihg out a window. It’s throwing a person out a window, usually hoping it will look as if he jumped. As far as I know, there is no figurative usage. If you know of one, please cite it, and then we’ll be rid of this absurd discussion.
