Dramatic use of faux symbolism in which a show writer drops so many "symbols" that turn out to be red herrings that the characters themselves show disgust. The phrase itself references Season 5 of the popular American TV show "Mad Men" in which window symbolism was heavily employed throughout the season, ultimately culminating with a nude Roger Sterling literally mooning the audience in front of a large Manhattan apartment window.
Whereas Chekhov's gun dictates that objects, actors and actions should be used cleverly and for a reason, Weiner's window dictates that none of that matters. What does matter is the show writer's smugness and lack of empathy for the show's loyal fanbase.
An important distinctionbbetween Bay's helicopter and Weiner's window is that a work employing the former technique will actually be entertaining while the latter will not.
TV Critic 1: "Did you notice that color of Don Draper's vase is bright orange? It could symbolize 60s changing morality, the Beatles arriving at Shea Stadium, or sex."
TV Critic 2: "Or it could just be another fucking Weiner's window. I hate this fucking show. Let's watch Breaking Bad."
n. the opening in a woman's shirt, top, or blouse that prominently displays her cleavage.
ie: me and Willis were trying to focus on our bowling game but the chick in the next lane had a lovely top on with a "titty window" so we could see her titty balls and stuff.
Design over usability, by design.
Microsoft Store Salesperson: You'd like this Sony Vaio notebook, sir?
Computer Buyer: Yes. Core i5, 8 gigs of RAM, sounds really nice.
Salesperson: It also come with Windows 8. On Windows 8 you'll have access to hundreds of new "apps". It's really great.
Buyer: Oh, I don't want that. I just want to use iTunes and Firefox.
Salesperson: You can do that on Windows 8, sir. Just click on the "Desktop" icon.
Buyer: *playing around with the store model* Oh, okay, well.... wa... where is the Start Menu?
Salesperson: It was replaced with the new Start Screen. There you have access to all of your applications, just like the old Start Menu.
Buyer: Alright, well, how do I go to the Control Panel?
Salesperson: It's really easy. All you do is right-click the desktop and choose Screen Resolution, and then just click a few other categories and you'll find it. To change the Start Screen applications and personalization you just use its own control panel in the Start Screen.
Buyer: ...Is this notebook compatible with Windows XP?
Salesperson: (mentally) *FFFFUUUUUUUU*

Refers to a driver of a car that puts the locks on the window controls so no one else in the car can work their own window. Only the driver can determine if a window will be rolled down or up. Someone who locks the windows is a Window Nazi.
