I've never heard it before, and can't see anyone apart from you using 
it, so it rather appears that it was you :-)

To me a 'tuple' (pronounced with a long or short 'U') is a data type 
supported by languages such as Python and Haskell to bundle a small 
number of values (usually two or three) into a single unit - like an 
array, but non-mutable and more lightweight (you can't directly 
concatenate two of them together, for example). Does that help...?
