A novel written by Charles Dickens in weekly parts from December 1860 to August 1861. Great Expectations is the story about Pip, a selfish, whiny teenager that grows up into a "gentleman." This is a novel assigned to many high school students to read, and probably the most boring book in existence. My advice, don't waste your time, cliffs notes work.
1) Thanks, Charles Dickens, for wasting two months of my life with your crappy book, Great Expectations.
2) I would call Bernadette, but she is reading that god-awful book Great Expectations.

When someone enters an elevator expecting the person closest to the panel of buttons to press one for them.
Susan walked into the elevator calling out her floor number with Elevation Expectation.
lame excuse for a really bad plot twist in a movie or series
- Dude, that last season of Game of Thrones was a real letdown. I expected something deeper.
- Yeah, it's called "subverting expectations" these days.

An extremely boring novel by Charles Dickens, following the story of Pip, a little kid whose parents died. His sister, Ms. Joe and her husband Joe raise him. Ms. Joe is actually a fucking dick to Pip. I zoned out at this point but Pip went to Ms. Havisham’s mansion. Havisham is this crazy lady who was left at the altar and instead of getting over it, she stopped all of her clocks, never threw away the food and never took off her dress. She also had this adopted (i think) niece named Estella. Pip starts simping hard for estella, and again i zoned out but Pip was simping so hard that he followed estella to London. He became a douchebag to try and impress her, but his London joyride was running out of funds. When he found out who was giving him the money, it was some criminal he met in the very beginning of the book and instead of being grateful he was upset it wasn’t Havisham. Idk what happens after that but honestly i’m not looking forward to reading the rest.

Expecting someone to do something like work 4 jobs or fly.
The girl wanted to see somebody fly freely (without being in an aircraft or having a parachute) even though nobody could do that. The people who tried to live up to her expectations are all dead, those who watched them die didn't find her great expectations liberating at all.
To anticipate the occurrence of an unlikely event while feigning surprise by its ultimate lack of fruition.
I half expected Billy Mays to show up in my kitchen and start telling me I was doing it wrong.
