According to my flatmate, this is where he has gone camping this weekend. Right in the middle of it, apparently.

I've been there too. Apparently there's no edges to it--you're always either in the middle of it, or somewhere else.
... Doesn't someone have a list of these places, like "back of Bourke"?

You're thinking of my "States of Mind" list. Added.

Well, I have some kind of metaphorical places and metaphorical, metaphysical places lists.
But I'm not adding this.
Because, you know, - FILTH!!!
And also, because I have always heard this particular location referred to as Buttfuck, Iowa. Which, as I have friends from Iowa, I am certainly not putting on any list o' mine.

My mom always says "East Jebip." For that reason I prefer West Bumfuck, since no one ever describes a real place as being "Place Name Nowhere" (or even "Place Name, Nowhere").
Sionnach, I protest. What's wrong with bumfucking? It's a legitimate contraceptive method.

You can read more of these in the "Places" section of the "Placeholder name" article on Wikipedia.

Ha! We always call it "East Bumfuck." It's just a surprise funny when you spring it on someone. I think it's especially funny because it starts with 'bum' and ends with 'fuck.' Kind of like the sweet and sour of jokes!

POSTSCRIPT: Sounds as if he didn't make it to BF. He detoured with his mates to do some mud-racing on the flats around Gunn Point. After inflicting a power of damage to his vehicle - including wrecking the bull bar and getting the exhaust ripped off during a tow - the group then spent a sleepless night being feasted upon by mosquitoes. He was back on Saturday less than 24 hours after he departed.
