tragedy of the commons

A situation where the overuse or abuse by some of a resource that lies in the public domain leads to the loss of use of the resource for everyone.

When Fred let his sheep graze on the public square, he caused a real tragedy of the commons . . . now where are the college students supposed to go to play frisbee?

Cosmonauting

When two males spacedock with either a turdildo or fresh poop. The Cosmonauting occurs when the males insert the turdildo into each others anuses and have a sort of homosexual intercourse with it. Heterosexual cosmonauting is called Spacedocking.

Ryan and Steve were very excited to be Cosmonauting together, but their fun was ruined when Denise walked in and caught them with a turdildo up their asses.

common as buggery

Common as buggery, something very common. Dates back to the chain-gangs (troupes of convicts -ex-poms- often chained together), building roads and other useful improvements in penal Australia. Being all men, and being chained together, buggery (anal sex) was a common past-time.

You won't have problems finding those nails, they're as common as buggery.
