In my experience, beyond a very few obvious ones, like polyfidelity, the
definitions vary wildly from one person to the next.  Even polyfidelity
seems to have a variety of definitions; the inventors of the term, Kerista,
included a number of people who had sexual relationships outside of Kerista,
apparently with the full knowledge of the other members.  

So I think that any such list should have a caveat that no assumptions
should be made unless you ask each person who is using a term exactly what
they mean by it

Though her song is about why she *didn't* like little boxes...
