@risingpun.bsky.social used to do poetry open mics, and at the end of his set he would ask for a word from the audience and make up a poem on the spot using that word, and if nobody yelled out anything quick enough I would do it. "Defenestrate" was one of my faves.

“Autodefenestration” not as good, or better?

Still good, but not as good!

I defer to those who are wiser and smarter.

it's a delightful word and I just can't imagine what was going on in medieval Bohemia that there are multiple incidents referred to as "The Defenestration of Prague".
