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.

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!

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).

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.

A ridiculous word that has a insane meaning. There should never be expectations because nothing is or ever was expected from us in the first place.
Objectifying generation: “yo why does that girl not have a hour glass figure?!”
Girls:” Why is it a expectation to have tits and a ass but I’m made how I’m made this is bs”
Generations: “haha those jeans don’t look right ! “

Some people were expecting the guy to work himself out until he physically resembled Superman in order to keep his job. They didn't want him touching drugs, since drugs were like kryptonite, they wanted him to comply with their wholesome agenda/program. They called it lighting a fire under his ass. They could not under any circumstances, let the guy do what they were paying him to do or be human instead of superhuman, they had to turn his best efforts into bullshit over doing human shit that other humans did, and not satisfying their expectations.

Their expectations were never really realistic, since the guy was always going to end up doing human shit like everybody else did.
