# they loved their defenestrations there
it's one of those words that must've been introduced in order to stop a profession losing its credibility. i imagine a bunch of historians sitting around going "look, we can't go on calling it 'the prague thing where they threw everyone out of the window,' people will think we're idiots"

see also mathematicians and the word "cardioid." it's "heart-shaped" you nerds!

# cardioid - I'd never heard that before
that's fab!

I guess that's along the same lines as 'ovoid'
