That's nicer than the people of Antwerp, who call the rest of Flanders a parking lot

There’s also tjotahejti, which is a spin on Otaheiti, an older name for Tahiti.

Mmmm spinach

We have "the boonies", referring to "the boondocks" or, um, there was a song. I wanted to fuck with you a little but you are so nice.

Portuguese "onde Judas perdeu as botas". where Judas lost his boots.

If you go there, pls bring the boots.

Romanian

dracul

That sounds so stereotypical lol.

In Latin American Spanish we say "Donde el diablo perdió el poncho" that translates as "Where the devil lost his poncho" or "Donde cayó el avión" / "Where the plane crashed"

Always heard Bumfuck Egypt, BFE being the more polite way to say it

In Dutch we have "Lutjebroek". Problem is, Lutjebroek is also a real village with about 2000 people in it. There's also "Schubbekutteveen" which does not really exists and roughly translates as scaled-cunt-ville.

Dylan Thomas named an imaginary Welsh town Llareggub (read it backwards).

Perfect! 😆😘👌🏼

I think this "<...>-nowhere" construction is common and adapted to different areas - I have definitely heard of "Bally-back-o-nowhere" in Ireland.

“Bumfuck Nowheresville” = variant I haven’t seen here yet

I live in WA and I've only heard buttfuck nowhere

Because it's so boring and far away from everything the only thing to do is fuck butts

I always liked "the ass end of nowhere", so I guess you could combine the two to get someplace even further in the boonies as "the ass end of buttfuck"

TIL it's not called "hutsilpu" and actually has as story behind it lol

i'd never seen it spelled out or the long version, so i just assumed x3

In Flemish (Belgian Dutch) we say: "In 't hol van Pluto" = literally in the arse of (The greek god of the underworld) Pluto.

Ooh I always thought it was Outsiploutte. In my area of France we have Perpète-les-Andouillettes (which kind of translates similar to les oies) and Pétaouchnoque.

there's also zadupie, which literally means "behind-the-ass place", and also wypizdowie, or wypizdów, which i can best translate as "fuck-off place"

my friend group also uses Wypizdów Dolny, the context for which is like that one spongebob episode with Bikini Bottomer (or -est, i don't remember), but wypizdów edition.

Huh, so in Southern Germany we like to reference Buxtehude as a place that's really far away and probably doesn't exist (even though it is a very real city near Hamburg). ^1

And I just learned that there's also a saying about Buxtehude, that it's the place where dogs bark with their tails. ^2
Apparently, they refer to bells as dogs in their local dialect.

I did also randomly find a reference to Buxtehude being where dogs bark with their ass, in a German text. ^3

So, maybe you guys also just dump on Buxtehude like we do. 🙃

Oh, so out near this little guy's neck of the woods? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ei6trd4kd4

Much better the "a tomar por culo" , translate that

I think it's important to also mention Wabush, a very remote town mostly known for being referenced in "chu parké à Wabush", which means "I parked my car in Wabush", thus implying that said parking spot was very bad which resulted in a long walk to the desired destination, often causing one to be late.

The real expression is originally from France «au diable Vauvert».

We also say «aux îles Moukmouk» which is actually a real single remote island in Abittibi, l'Île Moukmouk.

Is the green devil cannabis?

Also, if a bit more vulgar, "el quinto coño" ("the fifth cunt"). And don't forget "donde cristo perdió el mechero/ la chancla" ("where Christ lost his lighter/flip-flop").

In Sardinian, we say a casinu (at the brothel), because often brothels were located far from towns. And if that isn't enough, you can say a casinu 'e Pompu, combining it with the name of a real place that's already in the middle of nowhere by itself

Or "out where the crows bring a packed lunch"

In Australia we have "the outback", which isn't really "the middle of nowhere" but, it's also nowhere in particular.

I don't really know but I suspect it arose in the colonial era, when settlements were on the coast, and the hinterland was settled agricultural properties, but "out the back" away from the coast its dry, arid, and not much to see.

"The Australian Outback" refers to a class of landscape, rather than a place, but if you're in the outside back you're in the middle of nowhere.

could also be at the fictional town "triffouilli-les-oies".. litteraly at "fondling-the-geeses"

A lot of them seem to mention butts for some reason lmao.

Holy shit I had not heard the name Lil Abner for decades.

In oldworld French, Trifouillis-les-oies is a favourite of mine (it's a fictional village name, meaning something like... Fiddledy-the-geese).
Saint-glin-glin is for a date, here.

au milieu de nulle part

Hmm lemme guess.. To the place of no parts?
