noun
remote countryside; boondocks; middle of nowhere
Emphatic, colloquial term for a very rural, isolated area. The prefix ド adds a strong, often negative or exaggerated nuance, similar to 'super' or 'ultra' in English.

こんなド田舎に何しに来たの？
What did you come to such a remote countryside for?
Ateji spelling using 度 for the phonetic ド; rarely used.
Neutral term for countryside or rural area. ド田舎 is a more emphatic, colloquial version implying extreme remoteness.
Formed by attaching the emphatic prefix ド to 田舎 (いなか, 'countryside'). The prefix ド likely derives from 度 (ど, 'degree') used as an intensifier in colloquial speech.
