The act of launching a living person out of a window in Prague, with considerable speed. Preferably an Austrian Embassador, albeit a priest who has his own opinions works out fine as well.
Having happened thrice (1419, 1483 and 1618), Prague is the town with the highest risk of being defenestrated from behind, while simply enjoying the view!!!
So, should you ever visit the Czech Capital (its nice there), be careful to always maintain a safety distance of roundabout 7 metres from ALL windows, ESPECIALLY in town halls and/or other official buildings!!!!!!!!!

Oh man that guy nearly defenestrated me there... Lucky that I was warned about the Defenestrations of Prague on Urban Dictionary...

Person1: Are you okay?
Person2: Yeah, I'm just feeling a bit defenestrational, would be nice to be thrown out a window...
Person1: Sir, this is a wendy's...

When the Overton Window shifts around people that don't change themselves yet end up under different labels afterwards after being thrown out/defenestrated of the original windowframe.
Changing labels without changing those in question in a way similar to the Red Queen Theory where someone needs to keep running in order to stay in the same spot. The running here would be chasing after the shifting Overton Window.

Overton Defenestration occurs when the window throws you out itself while you do nothing in response to the Overton Window shifting around you.
"I was a liberal by the 1990's definition. I guess I still am. My positions haven't changed all that much, but the goalposts have been moved so far that I don't fit in anywhere anymore."

After Joe took a header out the third-floor window, his face was never the same due to defenestration deformation.

1. The act of dismissing someone from a position in church
2. The act of dismissing someone from a position in life via throwing them out of a window. This term became popular due to three Bohemian (Czech) Kings being thrown out windows.
