Purgatorial Meanderance

A purposeless existence spent in limbo wondering around.

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

hungatory

A portmanteau of hunger purgatory defined as the state of hunger with accompanied physical discomfort that makes you realize you took too long to do anything about. Now any cooked meal you would prepare or takeout you could have delivered will take too long and you will suffer until you actually do eat something. Usually this makes deciding what to eat even more difficult as a result which only exacerbates the problem

Opening and closing the refrigerator door doesn't make a ready to eat meal magically appear before you, you're in Hungatory now and it's too late. Your stomach will growl and churn in complaint for as long as it will take you to make something.

purrgatory

n. Semi-infernal place that slightly naughty cats go to for a while before God, enchanted by their cute behaviours, lets them into heaven.

………………….

When my kitten, Mrs. Muffles, nearly died last week she went through a long dark tunnel and caught a glimpse of the toyless void that is to come.

That wasn’t purrgatory Mabel. She was just stuck in the leg of your Justin Bieber onesie.
