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.

Sexpectation

Expectation

1. What one thinks will happen in the future.
2. What one wants to happen in the future.

High hopes of good times and/or prosperity dat one might have when visiting da largest STATE in da lower forty-EIGHT.
Resources like crude oil and wide-open spaces are indeed abundant in da Lone Star state, but not everything is "grown bigger" down there, including dudes' "equipment" --- they're actually near da bottom of da list as far as da number of well-hung studs among da residents, so horny gals might not wanna have excessively-inflated Texpectations when they "head south" to try "heading south" with any willing males whom they meet.
