Acronym for being in the middle of nowhere.

“Bum Fuck Egypt” or some odd variant of that.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 months ago

I’ve heard of “Butt Fuck Nowhere.” But never BFE or Egypt.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

It’s been around a long time, at least since the ‘80s. You can now add it to your vocabulary.

Or not if noone knows what it means and it makes no sense.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

I don’t care, you do you. Nobody’s making you do anything. Plenty of people do know, so not like your lack of knowledge limits anyone else’s usage.

Everybody I know knows what BFE is. Ask around.

It does make sense. It's hyperbolically saying it's so far away it might as well be in Egypt.

A lot of us in the Midwest say BFI, with I being Iowa. Think it has more to do with none of us wanting to be in Iowa.

It means out in the middle of nowhere. Most people know what it means, looks like it is just you here who doesn't.
