    Nono, you’re thinking of circumlocution. This is about building a wall around a besieged city.

      No no, you’re thinking of circumvallation. This is about sailing a ship all around the Earth.

        No no, that’s circumnavigation. This is about the length of the perimeter around a circle

          Nono, you’re thinking of circumference. This is about a semi-precious gemstone in the shape of a small, domesticated mustelid.

              Really good. I wouldt have given full marks. Semi-precious gemstone isn’t good enough. Too much reliance on the pronunciation. Good pun, though, I feel. Very groan.

      Okay, now you have to tell me how you plan to circumcise locusts. Don’t be ridiculous.

      No no, you’re thinking of circumvallation. This is about traveling around the entire globe by ship.
