DV = Delayed Vomit. If your passenger hurls his curry all over the windscreen mid-flight, by sticking your nose out of the Delayed Vomit window you can delay your own barf-by-association, normally until about short final.......
True. Honest.

It was very useful to plan to push a 2 litre plastic milk bottle through, said bottle containing some water, for weight, and a new fan belt for a French sailor in a yacht becalmed in the Tasman who couldn't start his motor due broken fan belt. Critics said he needed the motor to power the generator, to power the 'fridge, to cool the Champagne.
Sadly, just before take off he radioed that he had found some wind, and would continue to sail to NZ and would save his money that had been negotiated for the flight. Was actually looking forward to the challenge !

Means of exit.
Mandatory emergency escape, because a Piper only has one door on the RHS.
This is because if you really are that scared, then you really will exit an aircraft through holes you wouldn't even attempt at other times.

In flight rubbish disposal, yes, but only for appropriate rubbish. Banana peels, apple cores, handkerchiefs filled with vomit. Definitely not cans of drink or plastic bags.
Excellent ventilation as a Delayed Vomit window, though Cessna's windows do work better.
Great for the refueller to poke the docket for your last refuelling, through, when there's no one at the plane.
Great for flour bombing in flight, and Aerial Golf.
Would be great for throwing out the toilet roll for a spot of streamer cutting, if the Warrior was a good aircraft for streamer-cutting in.
Flying around the desert, your cabin will fill up with flies on the ground. The little window is a great way of getting rid of the flies. All you need is a short length of flexible hose. Put one end of the hose out the window, and use the other end like a vacuum cleaner. Chase the flies around the dashboard, and as they get close to the end of the hose, sluuuurp! They're gone!

I know several pilots (myself included) who have found it useful when, after landing and trying to open the door have found than something in the locking mechanism has slipped and they can't get it to open. The little window is just perfect for passing the keys to someone on the ground who can unlock it.
