I've not encountered the use of the word "metamour" all too often in the States. More frequently, I've run into things like "SOSO" ("significant other's significant other") or "OSO" ("other significant other") which, whilst cute, I find to be somewhat clumsy. I rather prefer the simple elegance of "metamour".
In contrast, the UK equivalent word to "compersion" is "frubbly", which I find distasteful and juvenile. Come to think of it, it might have been kinder of me to not remind you of the existence of "frubbly" had you managed to forget it! :-D
