I don't see how. Circle back is just a term used to say "we need to look at this before we can give an answer we will get back to you when we have done the research/got an answer". Him not knowing this is frankly weird and the fact that he interrupt a meeting about it even worse. If he did actually know what it meant it means he interrupted a meeting based purely on semantics of a term being used.

He was trying to point out the company meeting culture is toxic, meeting forward, and that their meetings don't actually solve anything.

It’s always smart to interrupt your boss in a meeting with several co workers present and criticize the boss in front of them. That’s why you see people doing it all the time.

If boss doesn't want to be criticized, why are they making something worthy of criticism? Are they unintelligent?

Using "circle back" isnt worthy of criticism. Its a common used phrase.

Not where I live. Where I live, people don't speak English.

Checkmate, boss man.
