Circular

I think it time for the world to embrace a new synonym to replace all or any of the below slang-onyms to describe something really cool! I hereby propose CIRCULAR. So when you hear that exec in the midst of the TORG effect say, "We should circle the wagons or kick the tires", you can say, "Circular!" Or if a developer delivers a piece of code with an infinite loop, you could say...

NOTE for PETA: If you are offended by references to creatures of the animal kingdom (other than humans) or their waste products, please avoid this content.

Circular slang-onyms (much circular credit to the fun bunch at SQAForums) and Co-workers:

Ace,  Awesome,  Bad (pronounced Baa-ad),  Bitchin',  Bodacious (this is not a reference to bosoms),  Bogus,  Booyah,  Boss,  Cherry (this is not a reference to chasteness),  Choice,  Cool,   Copa(c)(s)etic (not a mouth rinse),  Cracking,  Da Bomb (this is not a reference to a K-Fed music piece) ,  Def,  Ducky,  Excellent or Eggzuhlint,   Far out,  Fly,  Fracking,  Fresh,  Funky,  Gnarly (Gnarly Dude),  Grade A,  Groovy,  Happenin',  Heavy,  Hip (this is not a reference to the acetabulum),  Hot,  How So!,  Hunky-Dory (reserved for old guys driving Buick LeSabres),  Jhakaas (see Footnote2 below),  Illing,  Kickin',  Killer,  Like Wow,  Mighty,  Neat,  Peachy (origins: Agilisticate Jargon),  Peachy Keen (origins: Agilisticate Jargon),  Plugged In,  Primo (a bad tasting beer from Hawaii), Radical / Rad,  Ralucric,  Rare,  reet gradely (I schooled with a classmate by same name.
