I have no idea if you meant that seriously or not... think about those,
they're meaningless.  Either it's expected to fail, known to fail, or
unexpected.  Either it's expected to pass, or unexpected (or unexpected
known pass, which doesn't make much sense to me, but it's easy to
figure out what it means.)
