As OP noted, Timbuktu is the most common placeholder name that is also a real place. However, when trying to describe my lousy parking spot years ago, I was a fan BFE, which I won't spell out so this post isn't deleted, but the E stands for Egypt.

Edit: apparently Bumfuck Egypt is SFGS. Safe for Geography Subreddit. Good to know, bwa ha ha ha!
