Our culture has phrases for various stages of a relationship: When a couple gets engaged they are fiancés, when married they are spouses, if divorced they are an ex-wife or ex-husband. Until now, when someone is ending their marriage - but is not yet completely divorced - there has been no word for it. Purgamate is a descriptive title or reference for a man or woman whose divorce is pending and is just waiting to get it over with already. Purgamate is gender neutral and not meant to be used as a negative term - it is a much needed word that has been missing from our culture.
How many times have you had to introduce your soon-to-be Ex as your spouse, and cringe at the sound of the word as it exits your mouth? Saying it, "this is Sue, my wife", "this is Steve, my husband" (always with an eye roll) absolutely sends the wrong message! You find yourself having to say, well we are getting a divorce, and then having to tell some descriptive story. What an awkward moment! Finally, you can introduce your soon-to-be Ex, as your Purgamate and everyone will get it and leave you alone! Although, you may sometimes want to tell a funny story...

Get the Purpafiliacida mug.A Puranjay is a person who is amazing in every possible way. A Puranjay may never show what he's actually feeling but deep down he cares about every little thing and is very sensitive towards others. Once a Puranjay plans on doing something, NOTHING can come in his way of achieving whatever he has decided to accomplish. A Puranjay is one of the most knowledgeable people you can know, and always has a fact for any occasion. A confident speaker and secretly a nerd, a Puranjay does not fail to surprise you. As a bonus, he is also incredibly funny and smart.
