People who have no title i.e. the queen has a title HRH = her royal highness
Some people are OBEs
some people are Lords and Ladies. they are not commoners. hence the title thing
Basically this means MOST people are commoners.

They live in those very tall houses, the ones that go up to the sky.
They drive funny cars that make loud bangs, and dont seem to like wearing clothes that cover up thier arms, perhaps to show thier lovely tatoo's, and the men do this too.
They have children, but theyre always crying and loud, and dressed in pijamas, or just pants, whilst in a creaky buggy. There's a four pack of strong lager underneath in the basket.
They speak loudy, with a pronounciation that is conducive with dental problems, or a cigarette in the mouth. They think cigars are only for Christmas. And that Cristmas is for them, rather than their children.They are exemp from paying road tax, or a television licence, and like royalty, presumably...that is why they are so often seen "at court". Preversly, they see work, as "above" them. A child is not a child, its a £90 per week "career". Don't ever share a taxi with one, as they are reffering to the cab space, not the fare.
I hope this helps.

A commoner is a person who is 'common'...basically someone who isn't very special or unique and means nothing to the surrounding community...the word/phrase is used in Yorkshire mainly but also in other parts of England...many people, when complimented, will reply with "Oh really? I always thought I was a commoner..."
Many rich/upper class/snobby people will use the term to describe non-rich people

It's a remnant from the low/high class divide. You'd have the two groups of people being very wealthy or just being able to make ends meet. Everyone in the lower classes was referred to as a commoner, ie. being common folk.

the original commoners were the people who either lived on common land or held the grazing rights for their animals on common ground

Ordinary people not descended from royalty. The masses. Joe Sixpack. The multitudes. The cadres. The people who have to work for a living as opposed to people like George Bush who wouldn't know work if it slapped him upside the head.
The people who don't think they are better than other people.
