According to Wikipedia:
BFE or Bumblefuck, Egypt (also Bumfuck, Egypt, Butt ****, Egypt, or Beyond ******* Egypt)
(vulgar) refers to an unspecified remote location or destination, assumed to be arduous to travel to,
unpleasant to visit and/or far away from anything of interest to the speaker
(e.g. "Man, you parked way the hell out in BFE"). In Southeastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey,
this is often referred to as Japip or East Jabip/Jabib. In the Chicago metropolitan area,
the term was coined to refer to the region in downstate Illinois known as "Little Egypt",
centered in Cairo, Illinois, for being the furthest from the urban center in both distance
and way of life.
