defenestration n.
[mythically from a traditional Czech assasination method, via
SF fandom] 1. Proper karmic retribution for an incorrigible
punster. "Oh, ghod, that was awful!" "Quick!
Defenestrate him!" 2. The act of exiting a window system in order
to get better response time from a full-screen program. This
comes from the dictionary meaning of `defenestrate', which is to
throw something out a window. 3. The act of discarding something
under the assumption that it will improve matters. "I don't have
any disk space left." "Well, why don't you defenestrate that 100
megs worth of old core dumps?" 4. Under a GUI, the act of
dragging something out of a window (onto the screen). "Next,
defenestrate the MugWump icon." 5. The act of completely removing
Micro$oft Windows from a PC in favor of a better OS (typically
Linux).
