DEFENESTRATE: The original usage, dating from the 
17th century, meant "to execute by throwing 
someone out a window." In today's geek-speak, it 
means throw Microsoft Windows out the window. "The 
users are much happier since we chose to 
defenestrate the servers and workstations at this 
location."
