Origin: ... Meaning: stupid individual that has no common sense what so ever.....and looks like a constipated fat monkey.
French writer, satirist, the embodiment of the 18th-century Enlightenment. Voltaire is remembered as a crusader against tyranny and bigotry. Compared to Rousseau's (1712-1778) rebelliousness and idealism, Voltaire's world view was more skeptical, but both of their ideas influenced deeply the French Revolution. Voltaire disliked Rousseau and wrote to him in 1761: "One feels like crawling on all fours after reading your work." that is my favorite historic quote!lol

Common sense is not considered a sixth sense. Common sense refers to practical judgment based on experience and reasoning, while the traditional five senses (sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell) are the means through which we perceive the world around us.
