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.

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.

Common courtesy

Showing respect to others, respect that you would expect from anyone.

If you’re mother-in-law is babysitting your 3 month old twins, not on a work day that she does twice a week but on a Saturday so you can go watch your 8 year-old play football in 90 degree weather, and you are going to be an hour late, you should show her common courtesy by sending her a text or call.

Commonism

The lack or deterioration of common-sense within an individual.

I was startled when my engine stopped working, even though I knew my check engine light was on it was my commonism to blame for this unsettling situation.
