Joking on the Square 

A diplomatic way of telling a friend their outfit sucks, their boyfriend is ugly, they need to use more conditioner, etc. by making a joke about it like you’re kidding.
Usually they will get the hint without getting mad.
Hey Megan, (laughing) man I love those jeans, I haven’t been able to find those lately, did you get them at a garage sale?
Megan: Are you joking on the square dude??

I am not fully sure how safe or unsafe The Square is. But, The Square is a unique micro-ghetto area with architecture that is unique to The South Miami Heights area and i personally like it there and have friends from there. The Square has it's name "The Square" because if you look on Google Maps in Satellite mode, you see that this neighborhood makes the shape of a square. I got the Demographic info. from City Data.com.

And Circle Gets The Square 

Acronym for AND CIRCLE GETS THE SQUARE or ACGTS. It was a popular retort for scoring a point on the 1970's (and current incarnations) of the popular, quasi-celebrified game show Hollywood Sqaures. Now, more popularly used among the ironic set. Spoken or in print form. It should be used as an alternative to FTW and EPIC. Especially useful in ironic ejaculations.
Dick: "Wow, I just figured out Paul Lynde was gay. LOL"
Pat: "ACGTS"

or

Micheal: "I guess I can't keep drinking Slim Fast and eating McDonald's as the 'sensible meal' of the day, and expect to lose weight."

Clyde: "And Circle Gets The Square!"

Kidding on the Square 

I can see how you might think Al Franken had coined the expression if you had never heard it before, but it was an expression my mother when I was growing up -- and she died in 1984.
When Al picked up the tab for dinner he joked about me being a tightwad; I felt bad because I figured he was probably kidding on the square.
