What you get in response to calling them that might be unexpected, unless you expected that you and your nutsack would not necessarily live out your respective lives together.
I meant "rational' in that, objectively, they're expected. So yes, emotions are subjective. Logic is not. Thank you for correcting me.

Didn't everybody date that psych major in college that called every one of your reactions "predictable"? I'm glad I stuck with Econ.
