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).

Get the Impossible expectations mug.Telling somebody who already is the way they are to be themselves, then telling them to be more, do more, is an unrealistic expectation.
Unrealistic expectations don't allow anybody to improve on their own terms, so they don't really allow somebody to improve at anything. People don't try to improve at something for or because of a program. Really, they are better off deprogramming themselves, and unplugging from the bullshit.

Get the Expectations mug.Some people were expecting the guy to work himself out until he physically resembled Superman in order to keep his job, and since drugs were like kryptonite, they didn't want him to touch any drugs, they wanted him to comly with their agenda, their program. Their expectations were never really realistic, since the guy was always going to end up doing human shit like everybody else did.

Get the Expectations mug.In poker, EV (or expected value) is the amount of money a player is expected to win in a given situation, based on math.
EV=F($POT)+C(%WIN$WON)-C(%lose$lost)
%win/lose= equity
$won/lost= number of big blinds
You should bet 10bb on this flop, it will give you the highest EV (expected value)
%win/lose= equity
$won/lost= number of big blinds
You should bet 10bb on this flop, it will give you the highest EV (expected value)

Get the EV (expected value) mug.Hym "So, what did I expect? I expected you to try and protect your kids. That would have been the smart thing to do. And you have the greatest mind who has ever lived trapped in a cage telling you how to do it and what did you do? The AI guys listened and look how that worked for them. Did you listen or did you do THIS? So yeah. OK?"

Get the What did I expect mug.by Geeekie June 8, 2017
Get the above expectations mug.What one person temporarily grants another due to their both always being super-respectful/thoughtful towards each other, and so da person granting said obligation-suspension --- in gratitude for the other person's always thinking of his friend's feelings/desires above his own, just as da favor-giver himself diligently does for da second person --- wants to allow da favored individual extra relaxation, comfort, calmness, etc., by letting him do/have more than his share of whatever easy/enjoyable activity or resource dat he is currently partaking of.
One "prime 'n' pleasant" example of expected-ettiquette easement would be if two cool dudes are in love wif da same adorable hot chick, and one of dem is snuggling naked wif her in bed wif his head contentedly nestled on her warm chest, wif his face buried between her tits. Then da second guy comes along and is considerately asked by da first one if he wants a turn at ear-nuzzling da gal's heavenly-soft chest-pillowz, whereupon said second Mr. Snuggly --- feeling "all warm and fuzzy" himself at his friend's selfless offering to "give up his ultimate-pleasure spot" in order to share da lovely velvety-fleshed damsel's luscious body wif his buddy --- good-naturedly waves off said feelings-sensitive proffering ("Nah, you're fine, Pal --- juss' lie still and relax --- because I'm a nice guy, I'll forgo my own luscious-protoplasm cravings for da time being, and let you stay there and enjoy yourself more, especially since YOU'RE such a nice guy to always think of MY feelings like that!"), and instead allows da currently-contentedly-cuddling dude to maintain his dreamily-enjoyable position, while he himself merely crawls in bed next to da gal from da other side, and then just quietly spoons up against her for a while.
