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.

Get the Great Expectations mug.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.

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.

Get the Right-sizing Expectations mug.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.

Get the Presumptuous Expectations mug.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"
