The Expecters

The car behind you. When driving, someone is usually behind you. If they expect you to get out of the way for them, they are Expecters. They expect to get to the destination with no barriers. Expecters are also BMW driver, ambulences, police, fire briagade and old people. See example below.

The Expecters were behind me yesterday when i was rollin in my benzo - they had tier sirens on as well.

Those damn Expecters crashed into my car!

Kardashed expectations

When the worldview of a young woman raised on all 18 TV seasons of Keeping Up With Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Kris, Kylie and Kendall collides with 2020? not to mention? as if that weren't bad enough? their show gets canceled? I mean.

Growing up, she figured her days would like, be all, like, shopping, makeup, hair, like facials and stuff, and not like, unemployment? driving her mom's Kia to TJMaxx while wearing ugly-ass masks? This totally sucked and who was gonna pay for her Kardashed expectations?

Impossible expectations

Expecting a team that doesn't have all their players to make the playoffs.

Nobody thought the Hornets would make the playoffs after halfway through the season, because nobody had impossible expectations (except one of their opponents, who always has great expectations of everyone about everything, because everything has to be uber competitive enough for her).

Expecting gold out of nickels

A phrase often said by a person who has been hired for a low wage and does an adequate job but gets yelled at or talked down to anyways like they are hired you to be the second coming of Christ.

Manager: I told you yesterday to re-organize isle 22! You wasted a whole day!

Worker: I was told to put out stock and help unload the truck, you keep expecting gold out of nickels.

Subversion of Subverted Expectations

A double whammy subversion of expectations, in particular in regard to film and television, where the audience is led to believe that a scene will follow through with a subversion of expectations regarding theme or humor before the opposite happens. May not always work- relies on the assumption that the audience is expecting the unexpected, but not expecting the expected.
As an example, we can take the Wheel of Fortune scene with Randy Marsh in South Park. In it, he must spell out the word which means "people who annoy me". He manages to by dumb luck fill out every single other letter in the answer leaving him with N_GGERS. The expectation by the audience is that at the last second he will answer with the word "Nagger" rather than "nigger", however at the last second the build-up to the joke concludes with a subversion of the audience's subverted expectations and the joke plays out as it would normally: with Randy answering "NIGGERS!".

We were led to believe that the punchline would be changed at the last minute, but the movie did a Subversion of Subverted Expectations by continuing the joke on as normal.
