DEEP SIX Name
As quoted by @bootneck_to_english_dictionary
Deep six
(deep-siks)
Verb:
To drop into the sea. Derives from an old rule from the age of sail where, if deliberately making something very difficult to recover, it had to be dropped to a depth of no less than six fathoms (it sounds a lot deeper than it is. It’s the equivalent of 36 feet or just under 11 meters). The depth was measured back then by lowering a “sounding line” but today it is far more common to use echo sounders.
