expect the expected
When people waste time planning for the unexpected and unlikely and totally overlook the obvious, usually looking like a dumb-ass as a result.
Geek: "They said 10% chance of rain today so I packed an umbrella, raincoat, and boots, but forgot my sunscreen. It was hot and sunny all day so I ended up with a wicked sunburn."

better than expected
The economy after the 2008 crash seems to be recovering at fast pace at the incessant sound of "better than expected". the only problem is that the predictions of what's "expected" are made by the same guys that didn't see the worse coming... when it was really better.
dude1: Hey dude? Is your wife really cheating on you and you still in this good mood?
dude2: Well.. it's because I thought she was double timing me with 3 different guys. Turned out to be only with two of them.
dude1: Oh, I get it! you're into the whole.. Better than expected thing

as expected
A variation of the phrase " you would ", used in response to an individual's action that one would presume that individual would typically do anyway.
However, "as expected" is significantly less annoying than " you would " which makes you want to punch whoever said it in the face.

No Surprises Wedding
A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.
This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.

Blexas
Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.
Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
