This recently came up in conversation - is the word 'imminent' - as in somebody's return is 'imminent', i.e. expected to occur before too long in the future - used only in a the sense of foreboding? I have often used it refer to an event about to occur. I have heard that the passage of the health care bill is 'imminent' (and not by FOX news). Can someone clarify and perhaps offer a couple of instances where my interpretation is apropos?
Thanks.
