Where someone can love multiple people at once. It doesn’t mean that they’re bad at commitment, are cheaters, or just like sleeping around. All of those are different then polyamory. Just because somebody is polyamorous doesn’t mean they’re a cheater, and usually their partners are ok with them dating multiple people. It’s just as valid as any other identity.
A “Hey I saw you kiss Natalie, are you cheating?”
B “No, I am polyamorous”
A “Doesn’t that mean that you’re a cheater?”
B “No, polyamory is different then that. Betty is fine with me being with other girls”
A “Oh, sorry for the misunderstanding”
B “No, I am polyamorous”
A “Doesn’t that mean that you’re a cheater?”
B “No, polyamory is different then that. Betty is fine with me being with other girls”
A “Oh, sorry for the misunderstanding”

A particularly prevalent form of polyamory wherein polyamorous people will engage in sexual dalliances with many people who are not their primary partners for no reason aside from because they can. Due to the absence of any standards in their pursuit of sexual partners, their actions make them resemble a Pokemon trainer. Gotta catch 'em all!
An example of a conversation addressing someone engaging in Pokemon polyamory:
Guy 1: Dude, you're dating like fifteen girls, eight of which are ugly, three of which are married and one of which only has one leg. What the hell?
Guy 2: Love is not a finite resource! Shut up!
Guy 1: Love is also not a game of Pokemon and you do not have to catch 'em all! Damn!
Guy 2: You are SO paleocultural.
Guy 1: I hate you.

The process of dating more than one person, with each person's knowledge and consent. Often there are extended conversations about boundaries between each couple, triple, quartet or so on. Oh yes, in polyamory not everyone needs to date everyone. So Tom could be dating Jerry, Samantha and George, George could be dating Jerry, Connor and Tom, but not Samantha, Samantha could be dating Tom and Betty but not Jerry, George or Connor and so on and so forth. Also, monogamous people can be in relationships with polyamorus people, so for example Connor might only date George, and not desire to date anyone else, while still being okay with George dating others.
Connor: Oh yeah George is polyamorus.
Dumbass: Polyamory is just cheating with more steps!
Connor: Cheating requires a lack of consent. I like George dating others. It makes him happiest and it's cute to hear about the dates, gives good ideas for ours.
Dumbass: You can't be happy or fufilled in polyamory!!!!

Kitchen table is a style of polyamory that places emphasis on family-style connections among the people involved in a network, whether they're romantically involved with each other or not. The name comes from the idea that everyone involved would be comfortable gathering around the kitchen table for a meal.
Friend: where's hubby tonight
Me: he is out at his gf's place
Friend: you're cool with his gf?
Me: yeah we practice kitchen table polyamory
Me: he is out at his gf's place
Friend: you're cool with his gf?
Me: yeah we practice kitchen table polyamory
