Darn it, me too. I always thought geometric was a special case of polynomial where you only have a ax^2 term. I figured this was a reference to the fact that geometry is usually done in the plane, and linear increase corresponds to square increase in area.
I think I may have even pedantically "corrected" someone on this at some point. Awesome.

Yikes! I've been using "geometric growth" to mean "polynomial growth" my whole life.
