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.

When someone references something, and someone else replies by referencing the response to the thing the other person was referencing.
Matt, I am your father
No, that's impossible!
Did you just respond with a reference to the reference?
Yeah, reference-ception!

Law's Theory of Chess References has two main points.

1. After a while, in any argument, debate or discussion, there will inevitably be a reference to a chess piece, chess tactic, chess master, or something Chess like.

“Control of the patent rights will signal checkmate to their actions against us.”

“You don’t have to be a chess master to understand how this simple pyramid scheme will make us all rich. Yes a check, make it out to cash, will be quite acceptable”

“ The Wrestler considered his suplex the best part of his end-game arsenal.”

Note: It is not a Chess reference if you refer to a disreputable rapscallion, as having a ‘Checkered past”

2. In any sporting event, no more than ten minutes into the start of any contest, one or several of the sportscasters will utter some variation of "It's a chess match, with these two coaches, every time they meet in competition."

Note in the final 2 minutes of any NBA or NCAA College Basketball game, any substitution of good rebounders, good outside shooters, taller defenders, versus best free throw percentage shooters, requires that one or more sports commentators speak these words:
"Yet another substitution, Yes, it has become a chess match, " and the Color Commentator again paid homage to Law's Theory of Chess References before the 3rd quarter.

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 -

Self explanatory. We all know that person who is a circular reference. 9/10 they are named Bryce.

Ducky Wheeze wasn't much of a refereence regarding how a boxing match should be carried out, in dat he was totally prejudiced against Elmer Fudd, and so he totally rigged said match to ensure dat Daffy Duck would be da winner.
