Common sense would dictate such knowledge

A more intelligent way of saying duh

Person 1: Spinning makes me dizzy.
Person 2: Well duh!

Person 1: *smacks*

Different situation

Person 1: Spinning makes me dizzy
Person 3: Common sense would dictate such knowledge
Person 1: Huh..?

Common Sense

Basic logic that the majority of this planet lacks. (Ex, most booksmart people)

Wow, this is the smartest kid in my class. He can't even sharpen a pencil. He really lacks common sense. How will he even survive in the real world.

Use common sense

A way more polite way to say: "hey dumbass, read the fuck up." but of course those be some no-no words. So the former, more professional way is used.

Pete kindly, as much as possible, told Joel to use common sense, instead of unkindly saying: "holy fucking christ, read a book, you moron."

Dutch common sense

Thinking you can handle any crisis, just because you're good at building dikes.

Translates to "Hollandse nuchterheid."

"Jan, don't worry, just use your Dutch common sense instead of a face-mask."

Dutch common sense

A misplaced arrogance that you can handle any crisis, just because you're good at building dikes.

Translates to "Hollandse nuchterheid."

"Good thing we Dutch have the Dutch common sense, or else we'd have to learn from other countries' experiences!"
