@brianbilston@mastodon.online is „common“ also a noun? Or is it a pun, I don't get?

@Biggi91@kanoa.de @brianbilston@mastodon.online "the common" refers to open public space e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wimbledon_Common

@Biggi91@kanoa.de @brianbilston@mastodon.online In this spot, for her part, I think it is derogatory, meaning ordinary, not special, boring, something like that.

@Biggi91@kanoa.de @brianbilston@mastodon.online the "me" part? I've heard "commons" in the sense of a shared field or other grassy area (like between buildings at a uni, or of course "the tragedy of the commons").
