double-barreled common-law assault and battery

(not to be confused with regular, run-of-the mill domestic violence, which is strictly one spouse physically beating up the other)

when 2 common-law spouses start perpetrating physical domestic violence on each other at the same time during an argument and both require hospitalization for their injuries afterwards.

the recent case against Slava Voynov of theLos Angeles Kings is not, IMHO to be classified as domestic violence but as double-barreled common-law assault and battery, simply because both he and his girlfriend suffered significant injuries requiring hospitalization during the incident.

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!"

Common

Shorthand for "Common Law Wife" or "Common Law Husband"

My second common was a total bitch. She drove me into bankruptcy dragging me into family court over and over again before disappearing with my kid.

That means, 12 is a common denominator for .3333 and .5000.

When you're doing i-Ready math level D and you keep exiting to check your minutes.
Note that .3333 = 1 third and 0.5000 = 2 fourths

"That means, 12 is a common denominator for .3333 and .5000."
Me: "Omfg just shut up already..."
