"mugwump" is one of my favorites. I think I like the sound. It is defined as someone who remains politically independent or neutral. For a short time is was the name given to a Republicans who supported a Democratic presidential candidate (Grover Cleveland).

Defenestration; Defenestration is the act of throwing someone or something out of a window. The word comes from the Latin de ("from; out of") and fenestra ("window"). Merriam-Webster's dictionary users named it as one of their favorite words of the year in 2004. [1]
Defenestration is often fatal.
