Boondocks

A road in the boondocks of Pennsylvania State Game Lands Number 13, Sullivan County, Pennsylvania

The boondocks is an American expression from the Tagalog (Filipino) word bundók ("mountain"). It originally referred to a remote rural area, but now is often applied to an out-of-the-way location considered backward and unsophisticated by city folk. It can also occasionally refer to a mountain in both Filipino and American contexts.
