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.

Commoner lighter

You take a lighter you own (preferably with the least amount of fluid) and write "commoner lighter" on it. This is for the bums who always steal your lighters when they 'borrow' it and never return it. Problem solved.
