BumFuck Idaho, or if you’re being polite, Reduce Speed Idaho. But I’ve heard countless variations, and one would be Reduce Speed New York, if it was supposed to be kinda local, but really rural. ---

I’ve heard both BumFuck Egypt and BumFuck Idaho. I like BumFuck Idaho more, it rolls off the tongue better. ---

East Bumfuck but only because when I say Bumfuck Egypt, the conversation takes a 5 minute detour while I try to explain that I wasn’t actually talking about Egypt. ---

BFE here. It amused me that one place I lived had ‘BFE’ in large letters all over the sanitation trucks. I still don’t know what it was supposed to stand for, there. ---

You know what…it’s actually in Idaho that the above-mentioned sanitation trucks are at. And it _IS_ BFI…I just automatically thought BFE. And now it all makes sense. :p:p ---

Bumfuck, Egypt. But my favorite real place is [Tit, Algeria](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tit,_Tamanrasset). There was even a Battle of Tit. ---
