    HEHEHE “defenestration” made the german speakers among us giggle. a german word for window is “Fenster”, so the apparent francofication (often considered a high class sounding language) put together with the deranged context makes it 10x funnier

    we do know that fenestration is also a word in english...

    but it is mostly used in architecture contexts. if you’re curious, it is primarily used to describe the aspects in which windows are used in a structure.

    and yes, it has latin origins, and it is more in place in french than it is in german! regardless we don’t really care because it still sounds incredibly funny out loud
