the act of offensively taking down ones fence, or that of a neighbor, in order to protect oneself and others from grave injury while falling through a window or blackish hole
Ted was home to defenestrate while his wife was away, but the damn neighbor cat was on the ledge watching, so ted had to defenestrate the whole neighborhood because the cat would scratch his right to defenstrate alone should he vote on ballot measure 12453b and decide not to defenestrate at all, would hardly seem logical given how much of his life he'd already spent defenestrating and lame in certain defenstrational instances

Get the defenestratemug. 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...

Get the Defenestrations of Praguemug. 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."

Get the Overton Defenestrationmug. The act of throwing someone out of a window, otherwise know as every 9th grade English teacher's favorite word. They will often give a demonstration on how it works on the student who doesn't understand after a week.
Student 1: Did you see what happened to Jack?
Student 2:Did the crazy English teacher have to demonstrate defenestration again?
Student 1: Yeah...how did you know?
Student 2: I've experienced the pain of being thrown out of that second story window.
