    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.

    We all know the meaning of the word now.

      My German teacher would often threaten us with “aus dem Fenster,” implying she would throw us out the window when we did something bad.
