A title used to mock the classic novel 'Great Expectations', by Charles Dickens (Expectoration meaning "the process of coughing up and spitting out" or "the act of spitting (forcefully expelling saliva)").
Refers to the hoped-for level of lung-declogging performance that you have when first taking medicines containing camphor, eucalyptus, and/or menthol.
Most over-the-counter congestion-relieving products are of fairly mild potency, so you should not have very high expectorations about them. Extended use of these meds, however, often can indeed help "loosen things up" in your respiratory system.
The act of smugly waiting for someone to pick the fucking ball up and do something while a swirl of consensus gathering and discussion without decision results in cloudy direction. Most commonly used in inner dialog. It's the exact opposite of "?!!" or "Let's try."
My brain hurts from EXPECTATING all morning. Something great will come of all of this. I'm sure everyone will read my mind soon enough. We just need to keep talking."
