Facebook Purgatory

The area in facebook you let people who added you as a friend remain because you neither want to confirm nor ignore them.

My boss added me as a friend on facebook but I have him in facebook purgatory because if I friend him he'll be up my ass and if I ignore him, he'll fire me.

Sheila's in facebook purgatory because I don't want to piss her off until after she gives me the $20 she owes me.

urban purgatory

When an UD submission bounces around in limbo for months, receiving exactly as many approvals as disapprovals.

Dude: Where's that cool word you made up? Rejected?
Dude 2: No, it's still bouncing around in urban purgatory.

paychecks from purgatory

A take on the old expression 'pennies from heaven', in which a person expecting to get paid some money owed them when they most need it, is left with nothing or much less than expected.

Man1: I gotta come up with a hundred bucks to pay that speeding ticket before my old man finds out. Hey, remember that fifty you borrowed a couple weeks back?

Man2: Oh, yeah; right. Listen; I'll get that to you in a couple weeks, K?

Man 1: Ah, you're leaving me with paychecks from purgatory!

Facebook Purgatory

When the status of a friendship request is left without a response, neither accepted nor denied, therefore leaving the request in limbo between the two. Sometimes can work to avoid hard/awkward feelings from the requestor.

Yeah, im just gonna keep him in facebook purgatory until the end of time
