polycel

Someone who wants to get into polyamory but isn't having any luck, either because their partner doesn't want to try it or no polycules want to have them.

Joe wants to open his marriage but his wife isn't down for it so he's stuck being a polycel.

Complete Polycule

A type of polycule in which everyone is in a relationship with everyone else in the polycule.

Comes from graph theory (since a polycule can be represented as a graph) where a fully connected graph is called a complete graph.

Since they are in a complete polycule, the five of them don't need any complex schedule management like other polycules and can just spend time together like a monogamous couple would.

The Seattle Polycule

A joke originating from a Clickhole article, The Seattle Polycule is exactly what it says it is--a vague, unfathomably large polycule that apparently contains all the polygamous people in Seattle, Washington. Usually comes up either in context of surprisingly involved polygamous relationships, or Seattle.

"28 people? That's like... 0.5% of the Seattle Polycule!"

"Hey man, I left something over at the Lotte Hotel in Washington, got any advice?"
"Yeah, just ask The Seattle Polycule. They'll get on it quickly."
