Dream Girl ,'Bring On The Night'
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
See if I stick up for your 99% reliability, again. I won't, because...oh wait, before I continue, do you still have access to the file o' Jossy lying goodness?
I’m not sure I understand this question. Nope. I'm not sure I don't. Huh?
I know nothing about Slayers. Sorry, I just don't.
This explains Season 7 of “Buffy.”
I wanted to add something clever to this discussion. Instead, here is what happened - I saw Kristen's post about this season's TV, and was consumed by one thought:
The Inside isn't on. I miss it.
Okay, that's all.
defenestration is always funny
de·fen·es·tra·tion An act of throwing someone or something out of a window.
Haha, now I get it.
I personally have always thought it's cool that there's a specific word for chucking somebody out a window. Especially, since in theory, it's not really an activity one encounters on a day to day basis.
Can that word be applied to tossing someone out an airlock, like Laura Roslyn is fond of doing on Battlestar Galactica?
I think that's commonly referred to as "spacing" people. Which, as word, just doesn't have nearly the same flair.
From the Latin fenestra, window. Now if we only knew the Latin word for "airlock".
I think tossing someone out an airlock should be referred to as "vaccuuming" them.

See you say this all tongue in cheek, but I say there probably is one that somebody made up. There is a guy in the Vatican whose job it is just to make up Latin words. (He does some other stuff, too, though.) If I could find my conversational Latin book (yes. yes. it's real) I'd tell you, but I can't find it right now.
There is a historical incident called "the Defenestration of Prague" which took place in the 1600s. It involved murder of opposing political peeps by, yes, throwing them out of a window. I know this because there used to be a standing dare in the Summer Stock theater I worked with to work the phrase into a performance without the audience noticing. First actor to do it won the congrats of his/her colleagues.

History professor at school went on a tangent one day and ended up at that very point in history - he ended up there, he said, because he just liked the word so much. He was so fun when he picked up some random historical thread or other and just started telling stories. Anyway, that's my defenestration story.
