Expectation 

1. What one thinks will happen in the future.
2. What one wants to happen in the future.

The only word known to be both a synonym and antonym to itself, because an optimist will expect their expectations to be met, while a pessimist will not expect their expectations to be met.

Ronald fell short of my expectations, but I kind of expected him to.

subverting expectations 

Taking established points of previous installments in a franchice belowed by billions of people and completely destroying it to un unrecoverable state, deforming the most miniscule details as well (e.g. how gravity works in space), just because you have the power to do it while NOT taking any accountability your actions.

The Last Jedi is subverting expectations of the Star Wars fans.

Right-sizing Expectations

When someone humbles tf outta you but you need to downplay the embarrassment.

When someone is being out of pocket and you have to reality check them.

P: I don't want to be intimate with Shrek, so weird of you to say.
C: Do I need to remind you that I've seen your tiktok?
P: That message was so humbling.
C: It wasn't meant to be humbling, it's just right-sizing expectations.

Great Expectations 

A powerful dancing diva choir that pulverizes other show choirs with their electric moves, outstanding vocals, fancy footwork and mind boggling costumes. Under new direction since 2010, 'GE' has grown new wings and become even more badass with shows like "It's not easy being green" and "Man vs. machine", both shows that step over the safe borderline between what-were-you-thinking and why-didn't-I-think-of-that.

GE requires all members to try out each year in a two day tryout process involving dance techniques and vocal auditions. It is sometimes revered as a cult within the school district, as mandatory 8 hours practices are held after school every day during competition season.

Yep, Great Expectations really knows how to represent Twinsburg, OH. I hear they get in the paper more than their football team...
