Kun-chan...

	defenestrating?  What's that?  Sounds mean...

Defenestrate: (verb) To bodily throw someone out a window (often when 
closed) (see: Beverly Hills Cop)

The first usage I've seen of this was by Arthur C. Clarke, in one of his 
"Tales from the White Hart" stories -- "The Defenestration of Ermanitude 
the Inch." Fun stuff. :)
