Clark: In front of the impressionable kids watching this show? You're sick!

That's one of my favourite words. It amuses me to think that people and objects were being thrown out of windows so often that they had to coin a new word to express the concept. |
Yeh, great word, as opposed to
transfenestration (if you've read Pynchon's
Vineland), which is when one jumps through a
closed window (though I suppose it would also apply in the case of Axel Foley.)
