Sorry, eta, Gurunet is a download--it won't give a link; and the "picture" is just an icon-thing, anyway.
I did Google adfenestration, and got links to wwftd and one other place--apparently somebody had a contest for using obscure words. The very first line made me think of Father Steve, and so I smiled, but a few words later I frowned. How can someone who can use all these obscure words use the word that I will put in bold? A clowder of cats were laying in a kef... Argh!

click on the "word of the day" and select the "obscure" tab (but it's not a good likeness ;)

(this won't work on older versions of some browsers)

hehe. that was fun! thanks for the link.

I was curious about the images on the licitation page. have to spend a bit more time exploring what a large container has to do with licitation...

If you're intersted in stopping future elephants from landing in your deck chair, it's *very important to discuss from whence it was exfenestrated[sic].

Agreed -"if". What you have missed out is the complete lack of interest in anything, oh, Fong, if one was seated comfortably in the first deck chair!

and btw, I chose 'ex' rather than the 'de' form because I wanted to not imply the heffalump had necessarily been pushed but. ;)

'ex' rather than the 'de'

And here's me thinking you were distinguishing the point of view of defenstration (the going out of the window) from the point of view of exfenestration (the having come out of the window). Rather like the difference between take and bring.
