deponticate - v. to throw from a bridge.


Whether this is worse than defenistration depends on what the bridge is over. Or what's below the window, I suppose. Nonce-word from Latin pons, bridge.

did you know that no one was killed during the Defenestration of Prague?

That still doesn't make up for the hella numbers killed in the thirty years of war that followed, though.

sure, sure... but none of them through windows, or off of bridges. Fenes and Pontis are innocent, utterly innocent, throughout the entire conflict.

Vias, though, some of them were implicated in massacres, I understand.
