Academic Circle Jerk

When a group’s discussion of concepts and ideas start to overwhelm the thought process that you ultimately end up just standing around stroking the other people's egos and accomplishing nothing.

We discussed rubrics, a list of criteria for grading student’s work, until we discussed ourselves into an academic circle jerk.

Miley Circus

Any performance, decision or act that fails so horribly that the performer humiliates themself to the point of looking like a clown and can no longer be taken seriously by society.

EX: She really Miley Circused her career with that rendition of the Star Spangled Banner.

Itano circus

Named after anime artist, director, and producer Ichirô Itano, and primarily comes from the anime franchise Macross. Itano created an attack where a ridiculously large number of missiles are launched from one fighter jet or robot at a target or targets, regardless of tactical necessity.
It is also characterized by the missiles' twisting, turning and crisscrossing contrails.

That jet just itano circus'd and totally missed...but it still looked pretty awesome.

junior circuit

Nickname commonly used to describe the American League, one of two major divisions of Major League Baseball, as opposed to the National League, which can be referred to as the "senior circuit." (This is because the American League is much younger- it was founded in 1901 while the National League was founded in 1876.) It consists of fourteen teams: in the West division Los Angeles, (one of two franchises in the city) Seattle, Oakland, and Texas; in the Central division Minnesota, Chicago, (one of two franchises in the city) Detroit, Kansas City, and Cleveland; and in the East division Tampa Bay, Boston, New York, (one of two franchises in the city) Toronto, and Baltimore. The nicknames for these teams are respectively the Angels, Mariners, Athletics, Rangers, Twins, White Sox, Tigers, Royals, Indians, Rays, Red Sox, Yankees, Blue Jays, and Orioles. Notable players include Kansas City's Zach Grienke, Minnesota's Joe Mauer, and New York's Alex Rodriguez.

In this year's All Star game in St. Louis, the junior circuit beat the senior circuit 4 to 3.

Twin Valley Circle

A term for when students of Twin Valley High School students attempt to make a circle. This circle never turns out right, and like most students who attend the school, it is a major failure.

“Why does that circle look like a weird new shape? “

“It’s a Twin Valley Circle.”
