Expectations that shouldn't be but are.
This rock band Solence has unrealistic expectations of their audience, they are daring the audience to come and beat them up. Not only does it not make sense to dare a bunch of people you never met (that you would otherwise have no problem with) and who have never met you (and would otherwise have no problem with you) to come and beat you up. The logistics of it alone for them to locate these guys based on what time they're going to be where and trying to pinpoint them even though the audience members trying to do all this stuff have to work the next day, it's an unrealistic expectation and the band knows it when they write lyrics like that. What kind of audience member has time to go find and beat up some band member they never met?

This word describes a black person that spend alot of time with mostly white people. they're not a stereotypical black person but he still is looked at as a true (not racial) black person. a black person that treats everyone equally and is open to all cultures
"Man when I first met Marcus, i thought he was going to be like one of those steryotypical black people but he's actually really nice to me and treat me well.... but hes still black you know? He's not the black person you would expect but still a black person."

Expecting a team that doesn't have all their players to make the playoffs.
Nobody thought the Hornets would make the playoffs after halfway through the season, because nobody had impossible expectations (except one of their opponents, who always has great expectations of everyone about everything, because everything has to be uber competitive enough for her).
