An individual who has gained a large following among members of the American Tea Party and/or other quasi-politcal groups. This person is easy to identify due to their constant facial scowl and constant litany of opinions and insults against any people who do not agree with him. This is his/her way of making sure their followers do not start thinking too much...after all it is the Common Sense Guru's job to do the thinking. Sometimes, however, this is problematic, due to the Guru's exclusive reliance on the "common sense", which is unfortunately both uncommon and subjective.
Typical words of a Common Sense Guru:
"We the people need better jobs but we don't want anyone else to have better jobs...'cause we have common sense and they don't"
"Let's stop paying teachers so much...that money needs to go to a better place, like the pocket of your Common Sense Guru"

Get the Wandsworth common mug.Perhaps one of the most inquisitive minds of todays standard, but what are todays standards? You could say that where we are today is far beyond and yet far behind from what we would like to call "average". As technology advances and minds are all set for the future, our future, we grow to forget what we really need. What we need is truth, and there remains one being who has never lost and will never lose the power to skew and warp the disapproving outlooks of the customary american thoughts, and thats me.

Get the the voice of the common cock mug.A tiled room, usually adjacent to a locker room, but sometimes constituting an open shower area within a locker room, containing multiple showering positions, usually beneath numerous showerheads affixed to the walls at intervals of about every four feet, and one or more floor drains. The showering positions are sometimes situated around a shower pole or a shower column each of which would have between 4 - 6 showerheads affixed around each column. Communal showers are designed so that a large group of people may shower simultaneously so as to save time and avoid delay. Because they do not contain any dividers or shower stalls, communal showers do not permit for any modesty where the users of such a facility would be showering together simultaneously in the nude. Communal showers are usually designed to accomodate between 10 and 40 users simultaneously, and are usually found in institutional settings, such as at a gymnasium, swimming pool, fitness studio, high school, university, professional sporting venue or in a prison. In the United States, communal showers are segregated by gender, but at some facilities in Europe, particularly at a sauna, both genders may shower communally at the same time.
After the swim meet, the entire team would strip out of their wet racing suits in the locker room and then shower together in the nude in the communal shower to rinse off the chlorine from the swimming pool.
