common sense

The term should speak for itself. A Sense which SHOULD be common to everyone. Usually refers to any sort of logic that should be obvious to anyone.

It is dangerous to play with sharp objects.

Don't touch the posionous snake.

If you buy a Sega product you are just throwing your money away on something that will not have any new games released for it shortly after its release.

Slowest Common Denominator

The kid in class who slows down the rest by having to get every last thing repeated to him/her 8 times before understanding it.

Teacher 1) I hear you got Tommy and Linda in English class. I had them last year. They're some really bright kids.

Teacher 2) Yeah, but I feel horrible. It's damn near Christmas and we still haven't finished basic sentence structure because Kyle still doesn't understand subject-verb agreement and he asks me 2 dozen questions per class that I've already answered.

Teacher 1) That's always so unfortunate, when the brightest in the bunch are put in the same classes as the Slowest Common Denominator.

Teacher 2) Yeah. I wish there was room in the budget to have more advanced classes.

common

He is one of the few rappers you should respect even if you don't listen to him. I respect him through his conversations and debates with other men on TV, and I don't even listen to his type of music but he appeals alot. Shows a lot of wisdom, never talks about hoes or disrepects woman. Make's wise conversations and music. Only song I know is "I use to love her".

His rap name also represent Common Sense, from what I heard. He concerns from his surroundings, thus the use of common sense in ur life.

"Yo is that Common?
"Nope, not the common rapper"
"Oh, duh, next time I gotta use my commen sense to know that"

Lowest Common De-nom-nom

when a group gathers and tries to compromise on an appropriate dining spot, the differences in desired cuisines leads to everyone settling on a standard diner that nobody wanted to eat at in the first place. They have settled for the lowest common de-nom-nom

Joe- who's up for chinese?
Steve- nah man. im in the mood for mexican
Danny- no thanks. I'm not in the mood for diarrhea. Italian?
Steve- Had it last night. besides, im allergic to wheat. Theres a nice steak joint down the block...
Joe- Im vegetarian, so fuck you. What about bon cuisine, down on 5th?
Danny- fuck you rich boy. I can't spend $40 on a piece of salmon. Denny's?
Joe + Steve- fuck you.

Joe- Fuck it. we're going to marge's country diner.

Steve- fine. they got everything and they're dirt cheap
Danny- like your mom. I guess. It seems to be the lowest common de-nom-nom.

Virginia Commonwealth University

What was once a raggedy community college in the middle of downtown Richmond has become the most wild and fun damn university in Virginia; just ask a Tech kid about it.

It's Saturday at Virginia Commonwealth University, so, yes, I am having a damn wild time. How is that house party in Harrisonburg, nerd?

Is that girl wearing a top? Why, no. She isn't. God, I love Richmond.
