When used generally, the term refers to a rustic or uncivilized area. When referring to people (taga-bundok or probinsiyano in Tagalog; taga-bukid in Cebuano; English: "someone who comes from the mountains/provinces"), it acquires a derogatory connotation of a stereotype of unsophisticated, ignorant, and illiterate country people.
It appears that the word Boondocks originated in the Philippines from a Cebuano term bukid (mountain) in a rustic or uncivilized area, and often with a derogatory connotation. Today the word Boondocks refers to a remote and probably mountainous area, with very limited infrastructure.
Dave is working for a development project with farmer families in remote and distant areas, often mountainous. Very few people speak English, and he works with several translators. He comes across several primary school teachers who are working in villages in those areas, and one who does speak good English asks him for help with transport to one of the distant villages, and then inadvertently invites herself for accommodation overnight in Dave’s small village house.
Kim Anh comes from a family of teachers, and unfortunately is just recovering from a failed marriage, so meeting Dave is quite fortuitous and she instinctively cleans and tidies Dave’s kitchen and bedroom.
Kim’s departure to her new village is delayed as her transport is not available, until after the forthcoming luni-solar holidays, and she stays another day in Dave’s house. The weather grows colder and Dave kindly offers her warmer sleeping facilities!
Kim had found Dave an attractive man when she first met him, but Dave found all young ladies beautiful, until Kim began to blossom under Dave’s care.
Initial contact turns to passion and passion to deep love!
Everything works out well until Kim’s co-teacher turns up with a baby, a non-husband, and big problems!
Kim is divorced by her uncaring husband when she is working in a remote area, but she meets an attractive man and immediately her divorce is finalized she plans to make herself available hopefully for a long term relationship. Fair enough until you consider her working environment, the living conditions, and emotions, not to mention raging hormones!
EXCERPT:
Later, under the shower they bathed leisurely under the warm water, and Dave washed Kim all over with their liquid soap. Her skin glistened and his hand carefully washed the soap of her buttocks.
“What’s this?” Dave feigned surprise as he washed her vagina in the shower.
“That’s my butterfly, darling, which you have to look after very carefully.”
“Your what?” Dave really was surprised.
“My butterfly, that’s what we call the vagina in my language.”
Kim turned to face Dave, and took his penis in one hand, “and this is your bird, darling, which I have to look after!”
“Do you have names for other parts of the body, sweetheart?”
“Oh yes darling, but it’s the butterfly and bird that matter.”
Kim’s revelation made Dave think, a bit.
He remembered that many plant names are based in Latin, or the Latin equivalent. He remembered that the leguminous climber, the Butterfly Pea is actually called Clitoria ternatea as the blue flowers do markedly resemble the female clitoris, and a beautiful summer flowering lily known as the Spider Lily is known as Hymenocallis littorallis, or beautiful membrane. He grinned to himself wondering how the early Victorian botanists had gleaned such knowledge – maybe in their spare time!

I’ve written twenty four romance books all based in parts of the world where I’ve lived and worked. As a result five are in sub-Saharan Africa, eleven are in South or East Asia, and only seven based in the UK. One is still in draft form.
I’ve been married four times, my first wife died, the second divorced me, the third marriage was annulled as that wife had forgotten to get divorced, and thank goodness the fourth wife is fit and well.
We have between us seven children and four grandchildren. As a result I think that I know a bit about life and loving.
I’ve lived and worked in Vietnam since 1997, where I live in a provincial city with my wife, and we have constant stream of visitors from the families of our seven adult children.
