Who did you want to throw out the window?

Well, the computer, for one.

Yesterday: one of the merch people asks about forecasting an adjustment in the inventory plan. Boss tells me to have her send me the numbers and we will work it in.

Today: she sends me the numbers, copying Boss and her manager

Later today: her manager sends a reply saying "we talked about this last month, I already put it in, is it not showing up?"

She replies, Oh, yes it is.

Then I get an email from Boss (who wasn't even in today), that said, and I quote in its entirety, "Are they serious?"

I said I don't know, I think I have a concussion from the

Does anyone know what the word "defenestration" means?

Just make sure there isn't a manure pile under the fenestration... prevent annoying "miracles".

Can somebody spare any chocolate anything? I don't think that I'm going to make it through this next week. I have a store reset on Mon and Tues, which means I have to scan everything on Weds and Thurs. My mom is having a defibrillator put in on Fri and I will have to open the store on Sat. Just shoot me now!

Right now, I'd even go for alcohol or chocolate... or both!

de·fen·es·tra·tion
   /diˌfɛnəˈstreɪʃən/ Show Spelled[dee-fen-uh-strey-shuhn]
–noun
the act of throwing a thing or esp. a person out of a window

Word Origin & History

defenestration
1620, "the action of throwing out of a window," from L. fenestra "window." A word invented for one incident: the "Defenestration of Prague," May 21, 1618, when two Catholic deputies to the Bohemian national assembly and a secretary were tossed out the window (into a moat) of the castle of Hradshin by Protestant radicals. It marked the start of the Thirty Years War. Some linguists link fenestra with Gk. verb phainein "to show;" others see in it an Etruscan borrowing, based on the suffix -(s)tra , as in L. loan-words aplustre "the carved stern of a ship with its ornaments," genista "the plant broom," lanista "trainer of gladiators." Related: Defenestrate (1915); defenestrated (1620).




my google-fu is strong (actually, i used the online dictionary.reference.com ) plus, I actually read this term in a series of books by David Eddings (The Tamuli), in which a character expressed a desire to "defenestrate" another, annoying, character. Second party to the first, was horrified, until First party of the first, explained the meaning, then the second party to the first expressed enthusiasm - at which time they 'defenestrated' the annoying character from a first-floor window onto the grass. Good books though. Need to add to my collection.
