Law of Expectation 

The universal truth that if you groom yourself in preparation for an expected hook-up, the hook-up will not occur immediately after. It only occurs when you haven't prepared yourself properly. Usually applicable to females.
For example, a girl shaves her legs in preparation for an expected hook-up but then the guy tells her he can't hang out that night.

She tells her roommate "Damn, I should've known I wouldn't get any tonight; its the Law of Expectation."

Great Expectations 

A novel written by the famed Victorian era author Charles Dickens in the year 1861. The novel centers on the life of Pip, who was a poor rural boy, until a mysterious benefactor turned him into a London gentleman, and how Pip deals with the fact that his great expectations have left him so much disappointment. It is widely considered one of Charles Dickens’ best novels, and is read in schools all over the world.
man #1 "of all Charles Dickens' novels which is your favorite?"

man#2 "probably Great Expectations, it was exceptionally well written"

Great Expectations 

A novel written by Charles Dickens in weekly parts from December 1860 to August 1861. Great Expectations is the story about Pip, a selfish, whiny teenager that grows up into a "gentleman." This is a novel assigned to many high school students to read, and probably the most boring book in existence. My advice, don't waste your time, cliffs notes work.
1) Thanks, Charles Dickens, for wasting two months of my life with your crappy book, Great Expectations.

2) I would call Bernadette, but she is reading that god-awful book Great Expectations.

Subverting expectations 

lame excuse for a really bad plot twist in a movie or series
- Dude, that last season of Game of Thrones was a real letdown. I expected something deeper.
- Yeah, it's called "subverting expectations" these days.
