The Circle, short for the Circlejerk, also called the group, is the name for the people of Sapphire.
See Culture of Sapphire for a summary of Circle culture.
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 is the ancestor of the modern "DIK" in Sapphire.
