boonies by lingualtreasure June 3, 2009
A physical place that is isolated from the rest of civilization, including but not limited to bars, restaurants, grocery stores, and gas stations. A good rule of thumb is a 30 minute trip by foot.
Jeez, Ami! My feet are killing me from this walk back from the bar. Move out of the boonies.

Damn, the car ran out of gas! Looks like we have to walk a mile out to find a gas station in the boonies

A podunk area of the state in which usually nothing, not even shit, happens. Usually near a swampy land area - Which makes it a good place to lure crabs using slabs of raw meat tied to strings and a net to scoop them up with.
A: Argh! I can't believe I'm stuck out in the boonies this early in the morning.
b: Well, you agreed to join me in catching crabs which we must get started on before the sun comes up.
