Advanced Common Sense

A fact that is really really obvious, but only after having been pointed out.

Something that makes perfect, blatantly obvious sense, but only after giving it a bit of thought.
Bill: Did you know, when you smell a fart, you're actually smelling little particles of shit that get stuck up your nose.

Ben: Oh yeah! OMG I'd never thought of that before!

Bill: Obvious really; there's a nice bit of advanced common sense for you.

Lowest Common Denominator

In relation to people, they are the simplest group in a population. They have the simplest opinions, the simplest views and the simplest lifestyles. They are the unsophisticated (which is not correlated to the amount of happiness they have - in fact, living a simple life may make you even more happy than living a sophisticated one). Because these people do not think as much as a sophisticated person, they tend to be more naive and more gullible to gut feelings, and the ingrained culture and social laws that are around them. Their trust is easily earned.

In terms of politics, this can be taken advantage of when politicians use their persona and the gut feelings of their audience to gain followers, even when their policies and views might be to their disadvantage.
Those GOP candidates like to target the lowest common denominators in each state because it's easy followers for them. I mean, who would follow Rick Santorum because of a sweater vest?

Lowest Common Denomitard

The ability of one f**ktard to reduce the advancement of society to the lowest possible level

Ealing Common

The place where every schoolchild in Ealing goes on pilgrimage to once per month to pay respects to the founding chavs and have a shag in a bush. Keep watch for wandering roadmen, as they are known to inhabit the outer edges of the park.
You wanna go down to Ealing Common tomorrow? There might even be some spare condoms in one of the bushes.

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.
