Vicious circle or cycle?

Circle, think and bat...

Circle and bat. I think "off his own bat" comes from cricket.

Yes, it is. www.sunderlandecho.com/news/off-your-own-back-and-four-other-common-english-phrases-you-may-be-using-incorrectly-404542

Circle/bat

Circle & Bat

Circle for me too

Circle

Circle and bat.

circle!

Bat for me too but I will consult Ms Dent.

How about … not him about

Circle and think

Him about off his own bat ? Back ? For me it’s bat.

It’s a circle from me.

I always say vicious circle never cycle.

I use both, I have discovered but I don’t think it is a conscious decision.

I would say both are correct, a vicious circle would be never-ending but a cycle would be events that end but can flare up again.

Vicious 'circle' pips 'cycle' by a century. Similarly, 'another think coming' came before 'another thing coming', but the misapprehension happened within a few years (in the late 19th century).

Susie Dent knows about this kind of thing.
