commoner

Read a random definition: subject matter

A quick definition of commoner:

A commoner is a regular person who is not a noble or a member of the House of Lords. They are just like everyone else and do not have any special privileges or titles. In the past, a commoner could also refer to a lawyer or someone who had the right to use a lord's land for grazing animals. It can also refer to someone who shares a right with others.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A commoner is an ordinary citizen who is not a peer. In the past, it also referred to a member of the House of Commons, a common lawyer, or a person with a right to pasture on a lord's land. It can also refer to a person who shares a right in common.

  • Prince William married a commoner, Kate Middleton, who was not of noble birth.
  • In the past, commoners were not allowed to hunt on the lord's land.
  • Commoners in the House of Commons represent the interests of the general public.
  • People who live in a certain area may have common rights to use a park or a beach.

The examples illustrate how the term "commoner" can refer to different things depending on the context. It can refer to social status, legal rights, or political representation. The examples also show how the term has evolved over time, from a specific legal status to a more general term for an ordinary person.

Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years

I mean if Fordham doesn't release today I will purposefully get on a train, go to new york, and then take the stinkiest shit inside the admission office's toilet (potentially clogging it and forcing them to get a plumber)
