Fun with verbs!

absquatulate: to flee, make off; abscond.

defenestrate: to throw out of a window.

lapidate: to stone.

maffick: to rejoice with an extravagant and boisterous public celebration.

spanghew: to cause a frog or toad to fly up in the air.

whinge: to complain fretfully, to whine.

Now...how to incorporate these into my everyday conversation?

Also, more silliness can be found here. My favourite is 'Swedish Chef'. Bork bork bork!

"Defenestrate" is pretty easy. Shoujo manga can be defenstrated without loss to society. I constantly defenestrate inanimate objects which annoy me. And I think you're the third person I know who knows that word, not counting me.
