circle gets the square

When someone answers a question correctly or says something that you especially agree with, this is what you exclaim to explain your delight. Originates from Hollywod Squares, as this is what was said when circle won a square.

John Sample: We built this city on rock n roll dude.
Steev: And circle gets the square.

Franklin Square

A town in Nassau County, Long Island populated by lots of Italian Americans and their children who are commonly referred to as "guidos" because the males dress in "wife beaters" and gold crosses and prance around town like Tony Soprano or perhaps God's gift to women. They attend H. Frank Carey high school. Their language is a strange mix of Italian dialect and hip hop speak.

Square Peg Syndrome

A case of extreme persistance and/or stubbornness in trying to force something that just won't fit, esp. physically but also metaphorically. Often caused by a desire for efficiancy that ends up counterproductively wasting time and ending with a precarious outcome or damage if left unchecked.

There was simply no room left in the cabinet, but Joel and his Square Peg Syndrome kept trying to stuff that Pop-Tarts box in there.

square the circle

Describing a hopeless, meaningless, or vain undertaking.

Squaring the circle is a problem proposed by ancient geometers. It is the challenge of constructing a square with the same area as a given circle by using only a finite number of steps with compass and straightedge. More abstractly and more precisely, it may be taken to ask whether specified axioms of Euclidean geometry concerning the existence of lines and circles entail the existence of such a square.

In 1882, the task was proven to be impossible.

In Spanish, the expression "descubriste la cuadratura del círculo" or square the circle is a problem proposed by ancient geometers. It is the challenge of constructing a square with the same area as a given circle by using only a finite number of steps with compass and straightedge. More abstractly and more precisely, it may be taken to ask whether specified axioms of Euclidean geometry concerning the existence of lines and circles entail the existence of such a square.

In 1882, the task was proven to be impossible," ("you discovered the quadrature of the circle") is often used derisively to dismiss claims that someone has found a simple solution to a particularly hard or intractable problem.
