Don’t you think it’s a good idea to treat the word “spew” with caution? ---

Doesn’t ‘spew’ sound more suspicious than, say, ‘keck’? ---

Would you consider me sheltered because I don’t know the word ‘keck?’ ---

Wouldn’t it be better to consider you dictionary-less? ---

Yes, but is being dictionary-less really all that big of an impediment on this thread? Like is there any great risk of being fact checked if one chooses to use a made up word? More importantly, how many here even posses the farniciousness to attempt such a thing? ---
**Author:** ![dirtball](https://sea3.discourse-cdn.com/straightdope/user_avatar/boards.straightdope.com/dirtball/32/18772_2.png) [@dirtball](https://boards.straightdope.com/u/dirtball)\ **Post date:** [January 28, 2023, 4:20pm UTC](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/questions-only-thread/911667/5087 "2023-01-28T16:20:13Z")
My comment didn’t imply that being dictionary-less was an impediment, did it? And, of course, if someone makes up a word here, wouldn’t the usual reaction be to just pretend we know what it means? ---

Does everyone feel a certain denestriation is in order? ---

Indeed, how could we even think about denying such a thing? ---

Couldn’t we just throw someone out a window instead? ---

What is this, Prague? ---

Why, do they do a lot of defenestrating in the Czech Republic? ---

Could it be traditional? Historically, back before they had television, what else was there to do if you didn’t have a date? ---

Is date defenestration even a thing? ---

Do you mean defenestration _of_ your date or defenestration _with_ your date? ---

Second dates wouldn’t be much of a thing then, would they? ---

Fo you think maybe there would be second dates if people only went on first dates in one-story buildings? ---

Why didn’t I ever think of defenestration when I was on bad dates? ---

Would it hurt to ask? I mean couldn’t a date potentially respond in the affirmative when asked “say, you wanna go defenestrate some people that really need it?” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/questions-only-thread/911667.md?page=254) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/questions-only-thread/911667.md?page=256)
