- "heavens above" sounds like an exclamation
- Z is the only source I found that has the "Imperial Court" sense (no need for caps there, btw)
- Incorrect use of "by extension": "imperial court" isn't a generalization of "the sky; the heavens"

OED usage of "by extension"
apocalypse
1. The ‘revelation’ of the future granted to St. John in the isle of Patmos.
2. By extension: Any revelation or disclosure.

bin
colloq. To put in a waste-bin; to throw away; hence, by extension, to discard.
