    It’s been around a long time, at least since the ‘80s. You can now add it to your vocabulary.

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

        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.

          Sounds like “I enjoy being indecipherable, not my problem!”

          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.

        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.
