subvert expectations

A term best described as adding 'out of character' behaviour and lines to the characters and unnecessary plot twists for the sake of drama and shock value. Exc. Game of Thrones S8.

"We kind of forgot about good writing and logic so we decided to subvert expectations this season because, you know, shock value."

Expect us

A vague message that has been seen on bills and graffiti in multiple countries. Often accompanied with the date 5/19/13, its current meaning is unknown, but some rumors associate it with the Apocalypse.

5/19/13 Expect us.

half expect

When you don't honestly believe something to be the case, but wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be true.

My friend was so crazy, I half expected him to actually jump off the water tower into a tub of jello when the radio station offered him $10.

Law of Expectation

The universal truth that if you groom yourself in preparation for an expected hook-up, the hook-up will not occur immediately after. It only occurs when you haven't prepared yourself properly. Usually applicable to females.

For example, a girl shaves her legs in preparation for an expected hook-up but then the guy tells her he can't hang out that night.

She tells her roommate "Damn, I should've known I wouldn't get any tonight; its the Law of Expectation."

wife expectancy

In a marriage doomed for failure, the measurement of length used primarily for betting purposes of the groom's friends.

I can't believe he's marrying that psychopath. Wife expectancy of two years, max.
