common goblet

A central vessel in the middle of a table in which participants decant some a share of their alcoholic beverages during a drinking game. Said vessel must be drunk as a forfeit for being the worst player at the end of the game.

“Hey Sam! You’re the worst player! Drink from the common goblet, bitch!”

Use common sense

A way more polite way to say: "hey dumbass, read the fuck up." but of course those be some no-no words. So the former, more professional way is used.

Pete kindly, as much as possible, told Joel to use common sense, instead of unkindly saying: "holy fucking christ, read a book, you moron."

Dutch common sense

Thinking you can handle any crisis, just because you're good at building dikes.

Translates to "Hollandse nuchterheid."

"Jan, don't worry, just use your Dutch common sense instead of a face-mask."

Common

Shorthand for "Common Law Wife" or "Common Law Husband"

My second common was a total bitch. She drove me into bankruptcy dragging me into family court over and over again before disappearing with my kid.

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 cents

What one without common sense believes as the meaning... "people who have spare change such as dimes and nickels, common cents"

Alternatively, what one may name a playlist with songs by Common and 50 Cent.

My pockets are full of common cents, more so dimes and nickels than pennies.
