Wel, that ìs what he is saying. But the "lieu" stays closer to the "stead". I would still like to know of "in stead of" is not current English, because as far as I remember there is no difference in meaning. (in stead of this I would rather say)?

Maybe fortunately some definitions never make it to even Urban Dictionary, some acts never get an official definition at all.

(also, there doesn't seem to be any etymological connection)
This seems to me a cynical metaphorical or euphemistic use of 'defenestration', so it would not need an etymological connection of its own.
Who would want see this horror written anyway. ( in context )
