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 from then on the group adopted the name "The Circle".
Legacy of That '70s Show
As a result of That '70s Show being essentially a Bible for the group, it set the foundation for modern Sapphire culture to develop. From this show, and other minor factors, 420 culture became popular in the group. It is also possible that certain aspects in the show is the ancestor of the modern "DIK" in Sapphire.
