word sensical

i had a work meeting, and one of my colleagues kept using the word commonsensical. as in, "everyone should automatically put a screen lock on their iphones. it's so commonsensical."

commonsensical? according to websters, it's a real word. well, sort of. they list is as an adjective form of common sense. but i haven't been able to find any real dictionary that lists this crazy take on a very basic noun. i brought it up one night with todd.

t: commonsensiwhat?
b: like nonsensical? (caveat: another word that irks me)
t: or logical (or maybe he said tropical)?
b: or testicle.
