A part of the afterlife where souls are kept until they are allowed to enter heaven. Catholics (such as Dante Alighieri) believe in this because they think souls need to be clean before they can be allowed into heaven, as opposed to Protestants who believe that accepting Jesus as one's personal savior entitles one to heaven automatically no matter how filthy your soul is.
It is unpleasant and fiery like hell, but the souls there are not like the damned, in that they love God and are already saved. Part of the torment is the waiting. A "term" in purgatory can vary widely in length, from a few minutes to the end of the world, and in intensity, from "just slightly less bad than hell" to simply kept in a waiting room. Like prison, visitations by angels and saints are allowed for some souls.

Get the purgatory mug.The act of a woman secretly going off the pill in hopes of having her unknowing partner impregnate her and trapping him with a paternity suit and/or child support nine months later.
"Tim just got sued by his ex for child support for her new baby, even though they broke up a year ago. The paternity test was positive, and she hasn't been with anyone else since. This stinks of a predatory pregnancy."

Get the Gregatory mug.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.

Get the Party Purgatory mug.A term used by The Flave to describe an innner sense of awesomeness that is really nonexistent. This happens by swearing up and down that the Predator was supposed to be in the new Batman movie. Your friends start making comments that they have cloaked Predators following them around and since The Flave is borderline retarded does not realize it is actually making fun of his mentally handicapped ass. Instead he goes around saying,"My Predator Owns," thinking he is cool. When in reality he is a welfare collecting drain on society.
