is common sense a real thing?

Or is it just a term that is used to keep us all behaving in the same way? There is no denying the five senses, but what is this other sense that we all have in common?

I think common sense really means logic. But then if we all have a different way to perceive and understand things, how does this logic even apply? And is there anything to say there can only be one logic correct?
So you may be on to something. It is assumed people have common sense when they behave a particular way.

@ZefNinjaa: Precisely. I've never thought this in this context but now I know why it is said common sense is not common.

@ZefNinjaa: Yeah I've seen those people who answer that way. It's patronising to say the least.
