While visiting my family recently, my dad told me that a domestic dispute in a second floor flat near our house resulted in someone being thrown out of a window, suffering serious injuries (though they did survive).
I felt a bit bad about taking glee in actually being able to use this word in its correct context. (Hang on, that's schadenfreude, isn't it?)
Just popped into my head while looking at my Gmail contacts list. I think it may have been my sleep-deprived brain sticking together parts of different names, but the more I think about it, the less I can be sure which ones.

"Exchange stations shewn thus" - as seen on a map on an old Metropolitan Line train in the London Transport Museum.
