My roommates and I have a phrase that we use to describe a particular part of a parking lot that we call 'East Jabrew'. The phrase is used to describe something that is incredibly far away. So far, in fact, that there's no actual geographic location to describe it, so we call it 'East Jabrew'. The parking lot for our dorm is incredibly small, so they have an auxiliary parking lot that's a block away that we can use. The parking lot is incredibly big, and the way that it's structured makes it so that there is a stretch of the lot that goes really far back. This part of the lot is termed 'East Jabrew'. I invite you to use this term as you will.

My grandmother (who lives in Connecticut) has always described any remote location as being "way out in Jabrew". I've never heard anyone else use that term before now, but I guess it must be a New England thing. Diana Gabaldon recently blogged about similar terms for BF Egypt that you might enjoy. She also writes historical fiction; if you like historical fiction and havent read Outlander, I definitely recommend it.
