....who still can't believe that there's a word for the "act of throwing a
person out of a window."

Yes there is, it's called a "defenestration"  it's how the 30 Years War
got started when Prague nobles threw a Hapsburg emissary out a window. 
The etymology is from the French word for "window."

Hmmmm, maybe I should clarify.  I know that the word is defenestration
(thanks though.  Didn't know about the word's history).  I just can't
believe that there's a need or use for this word.  I know that there's
supposed to be a word for everything but isn't this a little much?  Actually....

Akane:  Ranma-no-baka!
Ranma:  Aaaaaaaaaaaargh!  (sound of Ranma crashing through window, landing
in the koi pond)                              Uncute tomboy!  Why'd you have
to defenestrate me!?

....on second thought, maybe not.
