manage expectations

corporate doublespeak for "we don't want to do our best, so let's make sure people think we're doing our best without revealing that we're not doing our best" -- anything in which you have to "manage expectations" means you could probably devote more time and effort to making things better, but you just don't feel like it

Marketing has to manage expectations of our new software package so that the boss doesn't make us do any more work.

The manager

The manager - the girl from the group whose entire world revolves around fending guys off her hot friends. They all listen to her and are guided by her often harsh and irrational judgement. There are many known ways to "charm the manager" but the most full proof method involves one of the males from the aggressive group "copping the manager" as to ensure the rest of them males have a fair, and unfettered shot at the more desirable girls in the group..

Dude you've got to cop the manager
