== 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, [[Sapphire Development#420 memes|420 memes]] became popular in the group. It is also possible that certain aspects in the show influenced the modern "[[DIK]]" meme of Sapphire.
