to throw (also fling) the house out of (also †at) the window (also windows)
d. to throw (also fling) the house out of (also †at) the window (also windows) and variants: to put everything into a state of disorder or confusion, to create an uproar; (also, now usually) to celebrate with abandon.House here apparently has the sense ‘household possessions, furniture’ (cf. household n. 3).
[Compare early modern Dutch het huys te veynsteren uytwerpen (16th cent.), French jeter la maison par la fenêtre , jeter la maison par les fenêtres (18th cent. or earlier).
In recent use (compare quots. 1964, 2005) after Spanish tirar la casa par la ventana to celebrate with abandon (1846 or earlier; compare synonymous echar la casa par la ventana (1786)). The precise relationship between the Spanish and English phrases is unclear.]
