episode Defenestration artwork
Defenestration

Defenestration (from Neo-Latin [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Latin] de fenestrā[1] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defenestration#cite_note-1]) is the act of throwing someone or something out of a window [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window].[2] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defenestration#cite_note-2] The term was coined around the time of an incident [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defenestrations_of_Prague#The_1618_Defenestration_of_Prague] in Prague Castle [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prague_Castle] in the year 1618 which became the spark that started the Thirty Years' War [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirty_Years%27_War]. This was done in "good Bohemian style", referring to the defenestration which had occurred in Prague's New Town Hall [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Town_Hall_(Prague)] almost 200 years earlier (July 1419), and on that occasion led to the Hussite war [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hussite_war].[3] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defenestration#cite_note-3] The word comes from the Neo-Latin [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Latin][4] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defenestration#cite_note-4] de- [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/de-] (down from) and fenestra [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fenestra] (window or opening).[5] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defenestration#cite_note-5] By extension, the term is also used to describe the forcible or summary [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/summary] removal of an adversary.[6] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defenestration#cite_note-6]

episode Moving Day artwork
Moving Day

Moving Day was a tradition in New York City [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City] dating back to colonial [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonial_America] times and lasting until after World War II [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II]. On February 1, sometimes known as "Rent Day", landlords would give notice to their tenants what the new rent would be after the end of the quarter,[1] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_Day_(New_York_City)#cite_note-1] and the tenants would spend good-weather days in the early spring searching for new houses and the best deals.[2] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_Day_(New_York_City)#cite_note-2] On May 1 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_1],[3] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_Day_(New_York_City)#cite_note-3] all leases in the city expired simultaneously at 9:00 am, causing thousands of people to change their residences [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_(address)], all at the same time.[4] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_Day_(New_York_City)#cite_note-4][5] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_Day_(New_York_City)#cite_note-5]
