urban purgatory 

When an UD submission bounces around in limbo for months, receiving exactly as many approvals as disapprovals.

Dude: Where's that cool word you made up? Rejected?
Dude 2: No, it's still bouncing around in urban purgatory.

Urban Purgatory 

The place you go when Urban Dictionary sends you emails saying that 2 or 3 of your definitions have been accepted and will appear on the site within the next few days, and then more than a month or two later you're still waiting to see them published.

Jake: Hey, man, didn't you say you were gonna be on Urban Dictionary? Man, I check it every day and I haven't seen your shit yet!

Bill: I know, dog! Guess I'm in whatcha might call Urban Purgatory!

urban dictionary purgatory 

the time between the posting of a definition on urban dictionary and the time that it actually registers on the website

note: this is the same as facebook purgatory, the time period between the making of a friend request and the time it is accepted

boy 1: ugh, i posted that definition like a week ago, why hasn't it gone on yet
boy 2: looks like your stuck in urban dictionary purgatory
