Traffic circle

A roadway intersection where the roads don't directly cross (like at a stoplight) but enter/exit on a circular road. When well designed it is very superior to a normal intersection, but prone to confuse people who learned to drive in a place without them. Poorly designed or outdated they are a recipe for disaster.
If you live in New Jersey, but don't know what a traffic circle is, you're living an unbelievably sheltered life.

When correctly designed, you should always yield when entering the circle, but never when in the circle.

Traffic Circle Jerks 

One who goes around a traffic circle or round about. To piss of other drivers because people going in must yield to the people going around. Being one can be quite fun, but being a victim is very annoying. Other drivers will sometimes join in on the traffic circle jerking.

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
