Ok. Just gonna pin this comment. Be very careful about jokes that could be interpreted as threats of violence or encouragements of violence. Lemmys rules are quite strict on this issue. Please consider this before posting your comments. Thank you in advance.
Literally means to throw out a window.
Y’know… To pull a Putin on your political detractors.
Thats such a zoomer reference. Ancient boomers remember the real defensters
Always seemed like such a strange word. Like, it’s such a common thing that English needed a word that specifically means to throw someone out a window?
It’s it too much to ask for both?
TIL defenestration is a word that exists
Fun Fact, defenestration is called that bc Fenster or similar are the word for Windows in central european languages.
It is basically dewindowering someone
Fenestra is the latin word for window. Similar words are used in some latin languages as Italian, catalán or Galician.
I don’t think it would be much used in central Europe, maybe in Romanian, as it also derivated from latin. But I don’t think that would be the case for Germanic or slavic languages.
Edit: just looked it up, seems like some Germanic languages also have the same Latin root for window.
I’m honestly quite shocked that billionaire CEOs and all around shitheels haven’t seen any assassination attempts. You see and hear constant criticism calling them evil monsters and yet not one mentally unhinged person has made them a target? I’m sure they have security and what not but the paparazzi have no problem getting pictures.
There was a Silicon Valley exec recently murdered by someone who also worked in the industry, which one may count as an “assassination”, but this particular incident was personally motivated and not trying to send some sort of big message.
