To defenestrate? To throw out of a window. To fenestrate? You'd think it means throwing back into a window, but NO, IT MEANS THE SAME THING. Look it up.
My highschools psychology/Japanese teacher taught us the word Defenestration, and I don't think I will ever forget it. My friend did something to REALLY piss his dad off one day, and he came to yell at him in his room upstairs, not knowing I was over. He came in and took a huge breath, saw me and pointed "Get your ass out of here before I throw you out of that window". He didn't need to elaborate further, I dipped out and left my friend to his fate. I gained the ability to talk about that time a 70 year old man threatened to defenestrate me though, so that's pretty great!
Reassessing this as a near native German speaker but from the point of view of an English speaker, Übermorgen sounds like a word you'd use for a really good morning sunrise while being high on endorphins form outdoor exercise.
In fairness, the French word for window being fenêtre helps, especially if you know that ê often represents an older form that was spelled with es instead (which it does here).
Panel 1 - the author sees a connection between unrelated things, because they are unusual words
Panel 2 - is an in-between panel
Panel 3 - the method of composing this particular strip was completely random
Panel 4 - the creation of this strip was sufficiently frustrating as to make the author want to throw their expensive equipment out the window, which would be as satisfying as the sound of the word itself. De-frustrating by de-fenestering.
Our high school band director used to threaten to defenestrate us. His classroom was on the 1st floor and had no windows, so he of course meant it as a joke.
On July 9, 1993, the prominent Toronto attorney Garry Hoy fell from a 24th story window in an attempt to demonstrate to a group of new legal interns that the windows of the city's Toronto-Dominion Centre were unbreakable. He performed the same stunt on several previous occasions – dramatically slamming his body against the window – but this time it popped out of its frame and he fell to his death. The accident was commemorated by a 1996 Darwin Award and has been re-enacted in several films and television shows.
Example: The defenestration of the Russian reporter was absolutely aleatoric, and any theories tying their temporary occupation of the liminal space between sky and ground to their work in reporting corruption within the Kremlin is purely apophenic.
