Purgatory

The Roman Catholic Church teaches that the souls of God’s people may go to a place called "purgatory" after death, which is a half-way house between Heaven and Hell. They teach that it is a place of purging, in which the soul will suffer for a while before being fit to gain salvation into Heaven. The prayers, candle burning, and financial gifts to the church of a person and his friends is supposed to shorten the length of time that the soul suffers in purgatory.

Purgatory is the place where the soul is purged after death for past sins and thus becomes fit for Heaven.

Burgatory

at a BBQ, when there are burgers that have finished cooking but no one is ready to eat them yet, so you push them to a lonely corner of the grill to keep them warm. (burger+purgatory)

Steve: "What do we got on the grill?"

Alex: "We got some dogs, some sausage and a couple of burgers in burgatory over there"

or

Chris: "Is anyone ready for another burger?"

Steve: "Nah, just put them in burgatory for now, we'll get them later."

Sushi Purgatory

The time of day, between 2 and 4 in the afternoon, where sushi restaurants are closed between lunch and dinner, making it excessively hard to find sushi.

We tried 4 different restaurants, but found ourselves trapped in sushi purgatory.

purgatory

A celestial waiting room where christians are punished so that they may atone for their sins before passing into heaven, as written in the Divine Comedy by Dante Algheri. Purgatory is very unlike hell in that it is simply temporary.

If you follow dante's reasoning, most people will spend at least some time in purgatory before they are allowed through the gates of heaven.
