Wedding Purgatory

A state of being somewhere being wedding heaven and wedding hell. This usually occurs when plans are not going quite as smoothly as the bride-to-be had hoped, but have not yet reached the point to where she must turn into Bridezilla to get things done.

Jessica: “Congratulations Cindy! Enjoy this time! Aren’t you so excited about your wedding?!”

Future Bridezilla: “Eh – this isn’t as much fun as I thought it would be. Really, I’ve been stuck in Wedding Purgatory for a while now.”

Pandemic Purgatory

When countries are caught between the desire to open up their borders to lure tourists to their shores and the fear of triggering new waves of infections.

Singapore finds itself in a pandemic purgatory situation: Should it allow thousands of migrant workers back to revive its comatose construction industry, or should it wait until the infection rates in the countries where these workers come from to head south?

Party Purgatory

The limbo-like state between a daytime activity (party, barbeque, crawfish boil, festivity, etc.)and a night time party.

Party Purgatory usually conveys the idea that one has yet to determine what night-time event to pursue.

Usually, the period of party purgatory is a good opportunity to catch a nap, meal, shower, or change of clothes.

Phone Call: "Hello...Yeah, we just got in from the Crawfish boil and are just hanging around the house for a little while.......No I don't know if we are going to the concert or to Sally's party yet. We are in Party Purgatory right now.

Zubat Purgatory

A term used in Pokémon Sun & Moon when a Zubat calls for help, in turn summoning another Zubat with full health. After killing the first Zubat and lowering the health of the next Zubat, it proceeds to call for help, summoning yet another Zubat. This process can continue for over 10 minutes.

Person 1 (to Person 2): Hey Michael's been fighting those Zubats for quite some time now..
Person 2 (to Person 1): Yeah, it seems he's trapped in Zubat Purgatory at the moment..

sleep purgatory

When you pass out from being drunk, you never really get sleep but you're not awake either. You are somewhere in the middle.

I'm so tired today, I got wasted last night and wound up falling into sleep purgatory.

relationship purgatory

The dead zone that one enters in between relationships; when it is too late to resume a past relationship and yet too soon to begin another.

This "relationship limbo", if you will, is usually encountered by people who have ruined their past relationship to such an extent that it cannot be repaired, and yet cannot move on to another as the pain of said breakup is still too near. There is no way to move back and yet no way to move forward, and the sufferer is left in a no-man's land of loneliness and netflix.

Person A: hey, you and Jenny broke up like two weeks ago and all you've done is lie in bed and watch Netflix. You must have seen every episode of Hannibal at least five times now. Come out with us and find someone else.

Person B: BUT I DON'T WANT ANYONE ELSE.

Person A: then go tell her you're sorry!

Person B: NO. IT'S OVER FOR GOOD NOW.

Person A: then come out and meet someone else!!

Person B: BUT I CAAAAN'T

Person C: fuck. she's got a serious case of relationship purgatory.
