Liminal space

Something, some place, a picture, or even a video game feels so ominous yet so nostalgic. You think that you've been there before, but your brain weirdly denies it.
The Backrooms is an example of a Liminal space
The concept of liming encompasses any leisure activity entailing the sharing of food and drink, the exchange of tall stories, jokes and anecdotes etc., provided the activity has no explicit purpose beyond itself.
It is a good excuse to go liming.....

liminal criminal 

A “bad guy” who is in the beginning stages of his or her development as a criminal.
As I listened closely to his somewhat childlike ideas about how he would rob a bank, I quickly realized that he was a liminal criminal!
To add to some of the fantastic definitions, Liming is part of the culture of Trinidad and Tobago, where people come together to “lime”.
In a gathering of this nature which takes place anytime at all and every Friday evening, questions like “how is the family?” “are the kids doing well?” are not the usual subject of conversation, while it is touch upon, liming is better phrased as banter, funny replies to questions, individuals make light about politics and current social issues and even dabble on who is "horning"who, what is going on politically without it becoming a serious subject; alchoholic drinks are sometimes involved and funny replies, you say or listen to chatter on a variety of social subjects including politics that are very entertaining and relevant to the subject at hand,” picong” It is a way we live and socially accept each other. There is a "girls lime" a "boys lime" a "river lime" a "birthday lime" any kind of lime is possible. People would "lime" anytime. It is a social coming together of a posse where almost anyone is easily invited. Come lime with us!
Aye them fellas cooking duck and liming down the road, I will see all yuh later.

Hey we having a girls lime at the club on Saturday night! Who's in?! I will call the posse.

Liminal space

A picture of video that feels off or has an ominous feeling to it yet nostalgic at the same time, like we ll have been there before.
Anka: "Hey I found this picture, it feels off but familiar."
Kurtis: "Yes, that's a liminal space."
