I am laughing at my own joke (again). I picture tompe sitting at his desk with a large stack of ponderous dictionaries, methodically "testing" them... cut to the scene outside the building, the scattering passerby, the screech of an unfortunate cat (katzenjammer!), the taxi run into the fire hydrant, and the one young man holding a test victim and saying, "so that's what that means".

Do we have any cartoonists in the house? The above, with the caption quoting tompe, "I have for a very long time used defenestrate to test dictionaries.".

My spleen aches.
