[edit] Nowhere used as an idiom
Nowhere is also used metaphorically by persons who reside or originate in rural areas. A common statement made by such persons includes the usage of "the middle of nowhere." This usage is a comment on the relatively sparse population and night life of local, rural areas. Beyond this commentary, "the middle of nowhere" is also used when persons are lost and do not know their location, say while traveling or driving in an unknown location with few landmarks or entities. Yet another usage can be found in the quantitative use of "nowhere near," as in "there is nowhere near enough pizza for everyone."
