old man emu Posted July 8 Posted July 8 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. https://www.britannica.com/event/Defenestration-of-Prague-1618 Its later use is similar to the way we use "Waterloo" to mean a defeat, as in "He met his Waterloo."
onetrack Posted July 8 Posted July 8 QUOTE - Re the Defenestration of Prague: "Although inflicting no serious injury on the victims...." ???? What did the Protestants do? - throw the two accused out of a ground level window?? 😕 1
nomadpete Posted July 8 Posted July 8 Not only Poo-ten. Even Bill Gates made a fortune from windows. But he did it without teminating his advisors so spectacularly. 2

onetrack Posted July 8 Posted July 8 So ... that's also obviously where the phrase, "We ended up in deep s***", came from? 😄 2

facthunter Posted August 5 Posted August 5 Medvedev, Putins seat warmer, Has been threating to wipe Britain from the face of the Earth many times. IF you deal it out be ready to take it. (Same applies the Trumper) Nev 1
Marty_d Posted August 5 Posted August 5 Medvedev is batshit crazy. Just like Trump he loves to get on social media and spew whatever insane stream of consciousness that's going through his brain cell. Not sure how these idiots rise to the top. That's why I like Albo. A boring and careful leader is far better than the alternative. 1 1

onetrack Posted August 5 Posted August 5 Putin is more likely to be moving the bombers to try and get them out of reach of constant Ukraine attacks on his aircraft. Russia hasn't been faring too well lately as regards Ukrainian successes on wiping out Russian aircraft. Operation "Spider Web" in early June was absolutely devastating for the Russians, and the latest hit on the Russian air base in Crimea was also quite successful. https://www.skynews.com.au/world-news/global-affairs/ukraine-wipes-out-dozens-of-russian-doomsday-nuclear-bombers-in-massive-surprise-attack-on-air-bases-kyiv-says-russian-pearl-harbor/news-story/5cb84fc515f7bc8c263ec8e136a2a34c
facthunter Posted August 5 Posted August 5 Putin chooses to live by the Sword (metaphorically) so HE deserves to DIE by it. Live is CHEAP in Putin's World. . He's NOT an original thinker. He takes a lot oof precautions to save His Own Miserable Skin. Who would really MOURNE his Passing? . Nev 1
