Once you go out a Russian window, you're definitely out of a job!

Defenestration is the word which describes one particular historical event. In Prague on  May 21, 1618, two Catholic deputies to the Bohemian national assembly and a secretary were tossed out the window of the castle of Hradschin by Protestant radicals. Clearly that was a case of these blokes getting the sack, and being informed of it by being thrown out of a window.

Its later use is similar to the way we use "Waterloo" to mean a defeat, as in "He met his Waterloo."

What did the Protestants do? - throw the two accused out of a ground level window??  😕

Not only Poo-ten.

 

Even Bill Gates made a fortune from windows.

 

But he did it without teminating his advisors so spectacularly.

And here'e the fun part. They landed in a pile of manure which softened their landings.

So ... that's also obviously where the phrase, "We ended up in deep s***", came from? 😄
