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

Here in Texas it's always been BFE, butt-fucking Egypt. Never have I heard Idaho used in this context.

However the context is different, because BFE refers to somewhere far away rather to being in the middle of nowhere

Same in Arizona, people will say stuff like "he lives out in BFE." I always heard it meant "Bum Fuck East" but is basically shorthand for "way out there."
