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.

paychecks from purgatory

A take on the old expression 'pennies from heaven', in which a person expecting to get paid some money owed them when they most need it, is left with nothing or much less than expected.
Man1: I gotta come up with a hundred bucks to pay that speeding ticket before my old man finds out. Hey, remember that fifty you borrowed a couple weeks back?

Man2: Oh, yeah; right. Listen; I'll get that to you in a couple weeks, K?

Man 1: Ah, you're leaving me with paychecks from purgatory!
