In Dante's Inferno, Limbo is the first circle of hell. Limbo is the home of the dead pagans that were around before Jesus Christ and Christianity. The Pagans are kept here, unharmed, where they live for eternity. They are not allowed into heaven because they do not know God's love. Unbabtized and aborted babies are also sent here when they die.
Although it is in hell, no one is punished in Limbo.

In games, primarily in roleplaying, limbo refers to the state a character is in while awaiting an action of another character.
The first character can not act without knowing the second his action. When the second player is gone for a long time, it forces the first player to wait, leaving his character in "limbo", stuck in a timeless void.
"He's taking a lunch break, I'm in limbo."

When your poop is halfway out/halfway in and it doesn't move at all no matter how hard you try to push it out. It's in a limbo when MOST of the poop is inside and the tip of it is hanging out - that's when it's so hard to push it out.

When your poop is in a limbo (and you can't get it out) you have to wipe your anus a lot because it will be so, uh, shitty. And becareful, as solid poop content might fall on your tissue.
My shit was in a bad state of limbo today. I just couldn't get it out no matter how hard I pushed. Now I think I've got a little bit of poop sticking out in my pants (can't clean it off!).
