According Triangular scriptures, the willful bretrayal of Triangulist principles. Circularists often refer to the Circle as a liberator from the tyranny of the Triangle. However, it is a lie. For he only wishes to subdue the circularist by giving him false hope that he is a liberator. The Circle only wishes to make all his followers servants to him under oppressive rule. Urban Dictionary

An argument that goes nowhere. Though a person believes he or she is arguing a point, the argument does not progress because the individual provides the same point for the effect as he/she does for the cause (i.e., the effect is just the cause stated in different words). In short, what is given as the effect is already made obvious--either overtly or implicitly--by the supporting reason provided. To say, "I didn't like that movie because it was really bad," is to provide a premise in support of the opinion that goes without saying. It goes without saying that if one does not like the movie, he/she will not believe the movie is good. Likewise, statements such as "I am Bainz, so I am drunk," "I enjoy listening to music when I study because music helps me to study," and "I wear Fant-Ho shades because they're the best shades" are equally circular in nature. A true argument would supply support that explains WHY Bainz is always drunk, HOW music helps the person's study habits, and WHAT makes Fant-Ho shades better than other brands. Dumb people write circular arguments. Urban Dictionary

Circular reasoning is providing evidence for the validity of an assertion, which assumes the validity of the assertion. General forms include "A is true because A is true" or "A is true because B is true, and B is true because A is true". Often used as a mechanism to prevent an assertion from being challenged or questioned, or to "win" a debate by sending it round and round in circles. Urban Dictionary

Opposite of "round sheep"; when something does not provoke any thinking or something very uninspiring. Urban Dictionary
