"....as far away as Timbuktu."
This is a phrase I've known all my life, but I'm curious as to what it means! Now my daughter wants to know, also. I don't know what to tell her! Help, please!

I use to tell my mom I was looking forward to her sending me to Timbuktu
Basically it just means to send as far away as possible.

I'm sorry I didn't mean it in a mean way... I wasn't trying to be rude... :(
I know you weren't trying to mean I was just pointing out that if you don't specify then you can expect any kind of answer from a one sentence answer to an elaborated detailed one with links.
OK.
It means a lot of things but mainly one wants to remove themselves as far away as they can from a situation
