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.

expected-ettiquette easement 

What one person temporarily grants another due to their both always being super-respectful/thoughtful towards each other, and so da person granting said obligation-suspension --- in gratitude for the other person's always thinking of his friend's feelings/desires above his own, just as da favor-giver himself diligently does for da second person --- wants to allow da favored individual extra relaxation, comfort, calmness, etc., by letting him do/have more than his share of whatever easy/enjoyable activity or resource dat he is currently partaking of.
One "prime 'n' pleasant" example of expected-ettiquette easement would be if two cool dudes are in love wif da same adorable hot chick, and one of dem is snuggling naked wif her in bed wif his head contentedly nestled on her warm chest, wif his face buried between her tits. Then da second guy comes along and is considerately asked by da first one if he wants a turn at ear-nuzzling da gal's heavenly-soft chest-pillowz, whereupon said second Mr. Snuggly --- feeling "all warm and fuzzy" himself at his friend's selfless offering to "give up his ultimate-pleasure spot" in order to share da lovely velvety-fleshed damsel's luscious body wif his buddy --- good-naturedly waves off said feelings-sensitive proffering ("Nah, you're fine, Pal --- juss' lie still and relax --- because I'm a nice guy, I'll forgo my own luscious-protoplasm cravings for da time being, and let you stay there and enjoy yourself more, especially since YOU'RE such a nice guy to always think of MY feelings like that!"), and instead allows da currently-contentedly-cuddling dude to maintain his dreamily-enjoyable position, while he himself merely crawls in bed next to da gal from da other side, and then just quietly spoons up against her for a while.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
