Answer 1

Don't look for the word "reconation" in the dictionary because it won't be there. However, the word is significant as a therapeutic technique for rehabilitating incarcerated youth. To learn more about the therapeutic process, google "moral reconation therapy."
The term "Reconation Therapy" was utilized for fairly simple reasons. The term was coined by Wood and Sweet in 1972 when they began the Shelby County drug therapeutic community. Conation is an archaic term which was commonly used in psychology until the term ego replaced it (circa 1930). Wood and Sweet used it because conation refers to the conscious, decision-making part of the personality. Thus, RECONATION was an attempt to have offenders reevaluate their decisions. The moral part of MRT (Moral Reconation Therapy) comes from the moral development structure proposed by Kohlberg.

To be expected to be the case. In your example, Edger would have expected his truck to be destroyed by the bug's ship. This is a tricky statement since no one would actually expect this to happen. It is used as a form of humor about the situation.
