Next time you think about tossing someone out of a window
Many of you probably already know this word, but it's new to me: defenestration. It is a noun, meaning "an act of throwing someone or something out of a window." For those of you who don't know the Free Online Dictionary, I highly recommend you check it out. It has audio pronounciations for each word. On its main page, it has some fun word games, including a spelling bee, hangman, and word matching.

I really like this dictionary. I used Miriam-Webster's dictionary online for a long time until it went all advertise-y and then Lupita showed me dictionary.com (which is awesome) and now I see this one has multiple dictionaries in one. That's a great reference!
