"B.F.E.?" My California-born roommate looked at my quizzically. "What's that?"
"What's B.F.E.?" I looked at her, amused. "You've never heard that? It's when something's way the hell out somewhere - in bum f-cking Egypt."
"Oh, we say THAT," she laughed. "But I've never heard it shortened to B.F.E. That must be a Texas thing."
So, is it?
Also, this might be the appropriate post in which to mention that last Friday night after I got cancelled on for the 14th time by the same person I'm "friends" with, I stayed in and watched FNL (which I've totally neglected since Christmas) and just to make the experience more authentic, I got some Texas chili-dog makings to celebrate. In case that sounds scary, you should know that "Texas chili-dog makings" actually just means some veggie chili in a can, some grated cheese, and some dogs - Hebrew National, of course.
And did I mention I put the whole concoction in a bowl atop some Fritos?
Where I'm from we call that Frito pie. And you know what?
It was AWESOME!!

Girl that just isn't in Texas! In high school we had a parking lot that was forever away, and we would say "Oh I parked in BFE" we all knew where it was!
Your sister had it right, just pour the chili over the fritos right in the little bag! That is all the rage at the hometown football games! Not only does it keep your hands warm, but less messy!
Damn, now I am hungry!
Up in Massachusetts we say "East Bum Fuck!"
Wait, I said the acronym was a "Texas thing," as well. Is the repeat aspect of this why you found it so funny?
I don't comment often here but I have to mention two differences in Texas and where I'm from... here in New York City (of which I am a native) we call it Bum-Fuck Egypt. Almost like Bum-Fuck is the city and Egypt is the state. Also... you need to try pouring the chili DIRECTLY into the Fritos bag. I think you would love it!
This does not sound WW. Busted. KPE
so that's why they have chili fritos down here.
also in jersey we used to say bumblefuck.
