Teaser
A place so remote that even the devil bails, underwear and all.
TLDR
Even the devil finds some places too remote. When a spot is deep in the middle of nowhere, you invoke the image of a supernatural figure abandoning his underwear just to escape it. You use it to call out a location that is completely off the map.Context
The street humor shrinks the devil from pure evil into a frustrated traveler. You hear it when someone complains about a commute to a remote farm or a new job far from town. It turns the annoyance of a brutal drive into a shared joke.Going deeper

Why the devil, why the underwear
The location is so bleak that even the devil finds it inhospitable. He didn’t just pass through; he bailed and left his clothes behind. That detail of abandoned clothing turns a simple distance into a story of a place that defeated even a figure of supernatural endurance.
