>Eminent domain - I presume that is what we call compulsory purchase, but it sounds like someone's posh house on a hill.
>Manifest destiny - What happens to a ship's list of cargo at the end of the voyage?
>Extreme prejudice - kill anyone who's not like me?
>Extraordinary rendition - a jolly good version of someone else's song?
