The meaning of the word, DEFENESTRATE
June 22nd, 2008 by boon
Defenestrate means to throw something out of the window.
To look at a historical perspective, Wikipedia has the goods:

I used to subscribe to National Geographic WORLD as a kid, and they would teach you how to pronounce words.
DEFENESTRATE (dee-FAN-nus-trait)
You can hear how an American pronounces it here.
I like how Encarta describes it:
throw somebody or something out of window: to throw something or somebody out of a window ( formal or humorous )
