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.
lemmy.world's rules?
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
Never get into an argument with a Czech above the ground floor of a building with big windows. Especially if you're Austrian.
My favourite part of that URL, is that it specifies the year. Because when the rulers of Prague forget they are servants of the people, they get a repeat performance.
There were 3 so far
Millennial here. I've only ever seen it or heard about it in fiction in my time. Being thrown out of a window by another person just seems so fantastical to me, since I've never heard of it happening IRL on the news. Just in history and Wikipedia articles.
You're thinking of the dude who made up the book of Mormon right?
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?
I believe it comes from French.
It comes from Latin. De = out/out of, fenestra = window.
You must not be a czech or polish
It's it too much to ask for both?
In Minecraft.
Apparently this isn't a legal defense any more.
That's why I made the joke. I've heard about the Nazi idiot getting arrested over it
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.
be the change you want to see in the world :)
No attempts _that we know about _
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.
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.
Dutch has the word "venster" which also means window, however the word "raam" is more commonly used.
Bonus fact: a window sill is a vensterbank (literally window bench/couch)
"Fenêtre" in French. And "defenestré/defenestration" is the direct translation. Looks to me like another word nicked from the French by the "perfides albions".
To Czechs it did come from German since all 3 happened while we were under controls of various german kings
Haha, yea, for sure. looks up defenestrate in a dictionary
Mmh, indubitably.
I'm not taking him to Prague
Why metaphorically? Invite him to one of those Western town amusement parks where you can have a fake bar fight and throw him through a sugar glass window.
I think there are a lot more people who deserve defenestration, of both definitions.
i want to deficate on the zucc
Tometo, tomato. 🫱
Yep
