Okay.  For those as clueless as I, see the wikipedia entry
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defenestration

I do hope that no one is using this term simply as a substitute
for deposing a dictator in general.  It's meaning ought to remain
specific to literally getting rid of one by throwing him or her
out of a window or orifice and letting gravity do whatever
dirty work remains.
