Is it true that Timbuktu is used as a pronoun for any anonymous faraway place like in the example? A Korean textbook introduces like this, so I'm just curious.
ex)You might hear people say, "I'm sorry I'm late. I had to park my car in Timbuktu," or, "I want to go to a good university in the city, not one out in Timbuktu."
