'''The Circle''', short for '''''the Circlejerk''''', also called '''''the group''''', is the name for the [[Sapphire Development#Staff of Sapphire|people]] of Sapphire.
'''The Circle''' is a nickname for [[Sapphire]] of esoteric origins. It can arguably be considered one of [[Bryan]]'s PSYOPs.

== Etymology ==
In the early years of Sapphire, [[DIK]] was not a thing. To have a '''circlejerk''' seemed like a foreign idea at the time. At this time, the group's memes somewhat revolved around '''''That '70s Show'''''. In the show, there was a Circle in which, under the influence of marijuana, the characters conceived many "great" ideas. This concept of a circle of friends [who were "high"] was integrated into Sapphire, and [[Bryan]] insisted that the group should adopt the name "'''''The Circle'''''".
== Legacy of ''That '70s Show'' ==
'''''That '70s Show''''' set the foundation for modern Sapphire memes to develop. From this show, and other minor factors, 420 memes became popular in the group. It is also possible that certain aspects in the show influenced the modern "[[DIK]]" meme of Sapphire.
