Top 10 Words You Simply Must Know: #1

Defenestrate - throw somebody or something out of window: to throw something or somebody out of a window (formal or humorous)

It is quite entertaining to defenestrate paper airplanes.

My high school employed a math teacher who, unbeknownst to the administration, hid Jack Daniels in a flask in his lower left-hand drawer. One day, this teacher left the class unattended... and his JD made it out the classroom's 2nd floor window - splashing onto the first floor window and into the classroom of another math teacher (the one with lemon trees) where I was seated. I would be thrilled to report that, due to quick thinking and handy resources, we were a bunch of high-schoolers pacified for the afternoon by a tasty bourbon-lemonade beverage. Alas, this was not so. Poor "Jack" got fired, and later passed away.
It's a sad, sad story on so many levels.
