Or not if noone knows what it means and it makes no sense.

It means out in the middle of nowhere. Most people know what it means, looks like it is just you here who doesn't.

And you know the person that literally asked. And all the people that upvoted him. And if you look the comment saying he's never heard of it has more upvotes than the comment saying it's common. Brilliant analysis that it's only me lol.

I don’t care, you do you. Nobody’s making you do anything. Plenty of people do know, so not like your lack of knowledge limits anyone else’s usage.

Everybody I know knows what BFE is. Ask around.

It does make sense. It's hyperbolically saying it's so far away it might as well be in Egypt.

A lot of us in the Midwest say BFI, with I being Iowa. Think it has more to do with none of us wanting to be in Iowa.

Everyone said BFE and still says it, where I grew up.
