sense of humor

This phrase is often misused. It means: being able to perceive comical things.

However, it is often used to accuse others of a lack thereof when the person fails to laugh at someone else's expense. Or when the person fails to laugh WITH those who are laughing AT him.

Many if not most people say "sense of humor" when they mean "C'mon, let us have a little fun at your expense."

For example, Albert falls while trying a ballet pirouette. Just because his friends find it funny doesn't mean they should laugh. Why? Because real friends spare the feelings of their friends. However, it is OK to laugh if Albert gives them permission. How does he do this? By laughing at himself first.

"Albert, that fatty, fell while trying his ballet moves. We all started laughing. He didn't laugh because he has no sense of humor."

Common Sense

When someone can solve a problem by just using the brains in their head and putting two and two together. Since not many people now a days can have this ability, it is more of less a superpower.

"Woah, you used common sense? You must be like freaking batman! :o"

Stoner Sense

A sixth sense, of sorts.

The ability to sense, whether you are looking at the person or not, when that person is passing you the joint, blunt, etc.

You can be completely engrossed in something else, but a vibe is sent throughout the room letting you know it's your hit.

Takes a little bit of time to fully integrate into your senses, as the odd time someone will look like they are passing you the smokeable, when they are only readjusting themselves in their seat.

I was laughing my ass off at the movie, then my stoner sense kicked when the blunt got passed my way.

Uncommon sense

Before diving into the definition of uncommon sense, let’s dive into the definition of common sense and nonsense.

When we talk about “common sense”, it means a practical knowledge or belief that is basic and not ridiculous to nearly all people at the time.

In contrast, “nonsense” means a knowledge or belief that is ridiculous and is currently impossible to believe or achieve with the current situation, which include resources (money, technology, etc.), or just simply impossible to do.

So “uncommon sense” is a term between “common sense” and “nonsense”. It means that at the time when this belief is proposed, it is not a common belief among people, making it uncommon. However, the belief or idea is logical and possible, hence making it not impossible.

In short, a possibility that is logical but not a common belief among people is “uncommon sense”

For example,

Before heliocentrism was proposed, Geocentrism had been a “common sense” to the people at the time being, but is also a “nonsense” to the people nowadays.

During Heliocentrism is being proposed, as geocentrism is the common belief at the time, geocentrism had been a “common sense” to the people at the time being, and a “nonsense” to the people now. But Heliocentrism is not nonsensical, as it is logical, then this possibility or hypothesis is an “uncommon sense” to the people at the time being, and a “common sense” to the people now.

After Heliocentrism was proved to be correct, geocentrism turns to be a “nonsense”, which had been a “common sense” to the people in the past. And Heliocentrism turns from an “uncommon sense” into a “common sense” to the people now.

Person A, "Haha logic sense?
