Wow, a legit (and dismaying) use case for the usually humorous verb DEFENESTRATE. Someone in my apartment building is defenestrating dog shit. Which also means, cruelly, they aren't taking their dog out.
And the trend is especially humiliating for our elderly, who are subjected to the indignity of this when, like, trying to run a quick errand in downtown Dayton, OH.

I write a blog on etymology, have been for 13 years. I usually draw my topics from news. No Substack. No video. No monetization. Strictly no AI. I pay to keep it ad-free. Visit? Get the content—no hoops. You can subscribe, but I'm not in your face about it. Just a guy doin' a thing: mashedradish.com
