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 sense

Equivalent to the bodies autonomic system, controlling multiple human instincts that are essential to survival such as empathy, communication skills, manners, respect, feelings vs opinions distinction, the pick your battles instinct, and a common desire to support friends and family unconditionally.

1)When one lacks common sense one becomes driven by self serving interests rather then worry about others resulting in a lack of human connection and in time, humanity itself.

Common Poes

. It originally lived on the northeastern coast of Brazil, in the states of Piaui, Paraiba, Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Pernambuco, Alagoas, and Bahia.5 Through release (both intentional and unintentional) of captive individuals, it has expanded its range since the 1920s to Southeast Brazil (its first sighting in the wild for Rio de Janeiro was in 1929), where it became an invasive species, raising concerns about genetic pollution of similar species, such as the buffy-tufted marmoset (Callithrix aurita), and predation upon bird nestlings and eggs.6

Hey fowzia, is that your common poes?
