Expectating

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."

Subversion of Subverted Expectations

A double whammy subversion of expectations, in particular in regard to film and television, where the audience is led to believe that a scene will follow through with a subversion of expectations regarding theme or humor before the opposite happens. May not always work- relies on the assumption that the audience is expecting the unexpected, but not expecting the expected.
As an example, we can take the Wheel of Fortune scene with Randy Marsh in South Park. In it, he must spell out the word which means "people who annoy me". He manages to by dumb luck fill out every single other letter in the answer leaving him with N_GGERS. The expectation by the audience is that at the last second he will answer with the word "Nagger" rather than "nigger", however at the last second the build-up to the joke concludes with a subversion of the audience's subverted expectations and the joke plays out as it would normally: with Randy answering "NIGGERS!".

We were led to believe that the punchline would be changed at the last minute, but the movie did a Subversion of Subverted Expectations by continuing the joke on as normal.

exseed your expectations

What you hope dat your crop-yield will do, but never really count on it.

Usually da Gurney's, Burpee's, and Park's catalogs really hype and puff da growing/harvest-claims of da little dried things inside their proffered planting-packets, so you should not exactly expect an actual "bumper crop" on much of anything dat you order from them --- about da only germination and flourishing dat will likely exseed your expectations will be all of those blasted WEEDS dat you're constantly having to dig or pull out! :P

EV (expected value)

In poker, EV (or expected value) is the amount of money a player is expected to win in a given situation, based on math.

EV=F($POT)+C(%WIN$WON)-C(%lose$lost)
%win/lose= equity
$won/lost= number of big blinds

You should bet 10bb on this flop, it will give you the highest EV (expected value)

Expectative

Being in a state of anticipation and expecting something to happen. Projecting an expectation on a certain future scenario.

You’re being very expectative about your date with that guy.

Unrealistic expectations

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?
