Something sadly lacking in this question.

Answer 2

The age old sense , which is apart from the five senses and also the famous sixth sense; the common sense can be defined as

A form of evidence that is based on conventional wisdom, tradition, or someone’s personal philosophy or perspective. It is hard to judge the validity and reliability of common sense because little supporting evidence is involved. Most people judge the validity and reliability of common sense by the person citing common sends as the basis for a decision. However, common sense can be a very biased approach to decision making and means nothing more than “what is common to me makes sense.”

Answer 8

I've often heard it said that common sense is not so common. To prove this, the owner of a sleep-away camp I attended (Dennis Kiley at Camp Lenape-Bluesky) had the new camp staff participate in a secret ritual. He was very successful in making his point and it was very fun.

In any case, here's the definition I was able to find that concurred with my opinions on what common sense is:

[Translation of Latin sēnsus commūnis, common feelings of humanity.]
