Circular Reference

In Excel, a circular reference is when a cell references itself; ultimately, a massive flaw in logic.

Someone who is the human form of a circular reference is someone who displays a massive flaw in logic. I.e. someone who is Derp, is also a 'Circular Reference'. They have zero logic to anything they do.
In the workplace -

Person A: Hey, did you hear that Sue wrote over all our templates?
Person B: Sue is basically a circular reference.

In life -

A local druggie tried to cross-reference me into trying some of his crap --- claiming it was "divine matter from The Holy Spirit Himself" --- but I just shruggingly waved him off.

Illiterary Reference

When you quote with confidence from a work of literature but get it horribly wrong.
I said to my wife, you know like in Moby Dick, “I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.” To which she responded, that’s from Little Women. Nice illiterary reference.

Person A: “Damn, is that a Nazotoki reference or something?”
