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!"

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."

Common Sense

A built in feature of the brain that has consciousness where humans used their inner ability before making dumb judgements, assumptions and actions.

Something that used to exist before 2015 when the world wasn't woke and everything had logic and made sense.

Common sense dictates that you shouldn't leave engage cruise control while leaving the driver seat to go at the back of a caravan to make a sandwich, while on a swirly road otherwise you will be listed on the Darwin awards.
