Dating purgatory

That awkward stage when you are seeing someone and you have yet to have "the talk" about what the two of you want.

girl 1: so what is going on between you and what's his name?
girl 2: well we go out on dates and we're friends, but we haven't had that talk yet.
girl 1: oh, so you're in dating purgatory.

Wedding Purgatory

A state of being somewhere being wedding heaven and wedding hell. This usually occurs when plans are not going quite as smoothly as the bride-to-be had hoped, but have not yet reached the point to where she must turn into Bridezilla to get things done.

Jessica: “Congratulations Cindy! Enjoy this time! Aren’t you so excited about your wedding?!”

Future Bridezilla: “Eh – this isn’t as much fun as I thought it would be. Really, I’ve been stuck in Wedding Purgatory for a while now.”

purgatory

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.

Purgatory: because your sins have to be burned off.

Purgatory: the final processing.

Purgatory: a very unpleasant place, but at least you age in reverse.

Purgatory: hot time in the celestial big house.

Party Purgatory

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.

Phone Call: "Hello...Yeah, we just got in from the Crawfish boil and are just hanging around the house for a little while.......No I don't know if we are going to the concert or to Sally's party yet. We are in Party Purgatory right now.
