squared circle
the fighting area for partic-p-nts in a combat sport. origi-n-lly, these sports took place in a circle. when support ropes were added to clearer identify the border, the rings were made sqaure or rectangular in shape.

as these two compet-tors enter the sqaured circle, they begin to realise that for one of them, fame and fortune on a tremedous scale awaits after this bout.
a u.s. marine term for getting stuck on a naval ship that patrols one area for far too long of a time.
when a naval ship gets sent to an area they are given a grid or “square” that they are allowed to move around in or patrol. they do not leave this area unless -ssigned to move on. so when they get -ssigned to one grid for a very long time they are in essence just doing a bunch of circles patrolling that zone.
hence the term: squared circles
“we got stuck doing squared circles in the gulf for 3 months until we were finally able to hit a port!”
