Useful here—although clearly an artificial distinction—is to differentiate lawn grasses from other grasses. Because many lawn grasses will occur in the "wild" outside of lawns–for examples, Hilo grass and pitted-beard grass are both common lawn grasses and wild grasses—the distinction is simply a practical one. Eventually, all common grass species can be reached by selecting the second lead in the couplet below, "lawn grasses" serving as a convenience for those curious about... well the grasses in their lawn (and we've thrown in a few sedges that are regularly seen in Hawaiian lawns).
