Sandboxed is when you are penalized. You are still in the index, but you are way down.

Typically, you pop out of the sandbox in 3-6 months and pop out on your own. This can happen if you grow really fast, or dup content, or a number of other things.

If you are black hat, you can get hit for longer, and need to contact Google to get out of the sandbox. There is also another term where you show up dead last page. But I can't recall off the top of my head.

Better to ask on a SEO forum than ole GFY.
