Pond-verstand/Sterlingverstand/Gezond verstand

Explanation:
Dit is een woordspeling. Sterling staat meestal voor puur, zuiver, ... Maar het staat natuurlijk ook voor Pond Sterling.

(zie ook Van Dale => gezond verstand)

Je kunt natuurlijk gewoon gezond verstand gebruiken. Je kunt ook proberen de woordspeling over te nemen. Vandaar pondverstand en sterlingverstand.

Zelf zou ik sterlingverstand gebruiken.
