Experienced largely during a person's mid-twenties, denoting a period of a person's professional life where they feel they are pointlessly clocking in and clocking out, endlessly over what is viewed as an infinite length of time.
"I'm stuck in professional purgatory, Sue - however many jobs I apply for, I still have the cold sweat of having to wakeup tomorrow to do the same job that I hate, day in, day out"
"I'm so glad to have escaped professional purgatory; I've finally got a job where people give me a real wage, real responsibility and a sense of worth!!"

Get the professional purgatorymug. When the weather is obnoxiously terrible or stagnant for an extended period of time with no change in sight.

Get the Weather purgatorymug. It's a place where you are are good enough not to go to hell but bad enough to not be accepted into heaven. Purgatory is like a resort for sinners that have good intentions. It has luxury rooms with an ocean view. Outside the room is a mall, a casino, dance clubs, cigar bars, and strip clubs that allow you to have sex with the stippers. You can take your favorite Hoe back to your room if you like. In fact, it is encouraged.
Michael went to Purgatory and he can fuck all the strippers and smoke as many cigars that he wants. Wow! Michael is awesome! He is the sexiest man in Purgatory!

Get the PURGATORYmug. Rather than getting sent to hell for eternity, I lucked out and got banished to a Purgatorial Meanderance in no man's land.

Get the Purgatorial Meanderancemug. When a trap sends you nudes and you have mixed feelings about it, often mixes of happiness and anger.
Man 1: dude I got nudes last night, but turns out she was a dude.
Man 2: you got nudes from a trap?!
Man 1: yeah, I'm happy I got them but angry I got trapped.
Man 2: next level purgatory bro.

Get the Purgatorymug. Teenage girl- Don't touch me ever! I'll make your life a living hell!
Girl's father- Get the fuck out of here you little shit! Your purgatory isn't hell for anybody, hell is what I made my son's life when he was a little shit, while I don't do anything with you for being a little shit! No wonder you think you're making people's lives hell.
