Great Expectations

An extremely boring novel by Charles Dickens, following the story of Pip, a little kid whose parents died. His sister, Ms. Joe and her husband Joe raise him. Ms. Joe is actually a fucking dick to Pip. I zoned out at this point but Pip went to Ms. Havisham’s mansion. Havisham is this crazy lady who was left at the altar and instead of getting over it, she stopped all of her clocks, never threw away the food and never took off her dress. She also had this adopted (i think) niece named Estella. Pip starts simping hard for estella, and again i zoned out but Pip was simping so hard that he followed estella to London. He became a douchebag to try and impress her, but his London joyride was running out of funds. When he found out who was giving him the money, it was some criminal he met in the very beginning of the book and instead of being grateful he was upset it wasn’t Havisham. Idk what happens after that but honestly i’m not looking forward to reading the rest.

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.

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.

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...

Polite Wolf in Sheep's Clothing: I don't want to be Presumptuous, but I have an Expectation that we will make love this evening...no is not an answer

Sheep Woman: I cannot wait...count me in

Polite Wolf in Sheep's Clothing: I had presumptuous Expectations of your answer...no was not an option

Ted Mosby Expectations

Many dating advice books, websites, columns, etc say that the main reason why some people struggle with dating is because of "unrealistic expectations" or as I like to call them "Ted Mosby Expectations". Ted Mosby is the name of one of the main characters on the long running successful sitcom, "How I Met Your Mother". He thinks most of the women he likes and dates are "the one" he will marry and have his children which is not the right mindset to have. It's hard to find the right person especially when you're a "nice guy" like him. Hence his expectations are unrealistic although I gotta say he is very persistent and many guys can relate to his experiences and "unrealistic expectations"
Dude you have "Ted Mosby Expectations" when it comes to dating; they are too high and unrealistic!
