an imaginary place for lost or neglected things
"After losing his favorite pen, he sighed and tossed it into the desk drawer's forgotten corner of limbo where stray keys and paperclips gather."
(theology) in Roman Catholicism, the place of unbaptized but innocent or righteous souls (such as infants and virtuous individuals)
"The parish priest spent years debating whether to include a prayer specifically for those resting in limbo."
The place where innocent souls exist temporarily until they can enter heaven, notably those of the saints who died before the advent of Christ (limbus patruum) and those of unbaptized but innocent children (limbus infantum).
"The kids laughed as they took their turn at limbo, trying to duck under the ever-lowering hula hoop without touching it."
A dance played by taking turns crossing under a horizontal bar or stick. The stick is lowered with each round, and the game is won by the player who passes under the bar in the lowest position.
To dance in this way.
"The children spent hours limbo under a rope tied across the doorway, laughing as they bent lower and lower to pass through."
