It could also just be English if you only speak English.

    “Butt fuck Egypt (BFE),” when referring to being in the middle of nowhere or the far edges of a parking area. For example, Sally complained to her friend in the food court, “I had to park all the way in BFE. I’m dreading the walk back to the car.”

      Nice. In German we have “am Arsch der Welt”, lit. translating to “at the arse of the world” to refer to the middle of nowhere

        In portuguese, we also like to say “where Judas lost his boots”

        English has “the arse end of nowhere” too. Wir sind alle gleich.

        I think it’s just a reference to being very far away from the speaker’s main area of residence. Plus it just rolls off the tongue delightfully.

        New England, at least. BFE is half the state of Maine, but also the furthest spots in the Hannaford parking lot.

        Growing up in the Midwest, I’ve heard BFE countless times.

          We use “bum fuck nowhere” in Michigan, at least in my experience.

      That’s actually quite an interestingly accurate one, considering that something like 95% of Egyptians live near the Nile River, and anywhere that is NOT near the Nile is desert wasteland.

      Other accurate analogies would be anywhere in Canada that is NOT near its’ southern border, or nearly anywhere/everywhere in inland Australia, they call it the Outback for a reason.
