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...

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!

Unrealistic expectations

Expecting somebody to find and do something impossible.
The teenager commited suicide due to unmet unrealistic exectations by someone in his family. Unrealistic expectations are the kind where somebody is really never going to be good enough, even if they did something impossible, then they went on and did a thousand more impossible things.

Expectations

Expecting miracles to happen or be worked is expecting the impossible to become reality. Expecting changes to happen when someone's fingers are snapped.
The teenager committed suicide because he thought he owed somebody impossible expectations, when really he didnt need to change anything about who he was, he was only human.
