I'm pretty sure the term "polycule" existed for a really long time now but I only ever started seeing it like a couple days or weeks ago. Like my brain suddenly switched on and thought "hey let's be able to finally perceive and comprehend the existence of this one random word" . I think the same thing happened to me with the word "LGBT" a long time ago. Although it might just be a matter of seeing new environments where that word is more popular, and the fact that i'm a young growing person
