Common-Peopled

Verb- to be common-peopled is to go out with or date someone who is richer than you or from a more wealthy background than you.

Queen of common sense

A friend who tries to explain to you the strange behavior of the male species especially those particular male species that you have been flirting with and have a crush on. They are very sensible which is annoying and calming at the same time because lets face it-over-thinking stuff is tiresome.
