common sense

Knowledge that is "sensed" to be true by everyone, but results in most believing the world is flat. Tends to be an overused excuse by pseudo-intellectuals to prove their own vapid points.
John: "I can't belive Kelly failed her test. She studied and everything..."

Tommy: "But she's blonde. Everyone knows blondes are ridiculously stupid. It's just common sense."

John: "What?"

sense of humor

This phrase is often misused. It means: being able to perceive comical things.

However, it is often used to accuse others of a lack thereof when the person fails to laugh at someone else's expense. Or when the person fails to laugh WITH those who are laughing AT him.

Many if not most people say "sense of humor" when they mean "C'mon, let us have a little fun at your expense."
For example, Albert falls while trying a ballet pirouette. Just because his friends find it funny doesn't mean they should laugh. Why? Because real friends spare the feelings of their friends. However, it is OK to laugh if Albert gives them permission. How does he do this? By laughing at himself first.

"Albert, that fatty, fell while trying his ballet moves. We all started laughing. He didn't laugh because he has no sense of humor."

Common Sense

When someone can solve a problem by just using the brains in their head and putting two and two together. Since not many people now a days can have this ability, it is more of less a superpower.
"Woah, you used common sense? You must be like freaking batman! :o"

The new modern definition of Common Sense was written by an honorable standing member of the judiciary.
The judiciary considers the use of postmodern Common Sense in the courtroom to be very contemptuous and highly offensive.
