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.”

      Why Egypt specifically? I’ve heard the phrase bumfuck nowhere before.

      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

      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.
