Deep six is an American slang term that means, when used as a verb (as in "to deep-six"), to ignore, get rid of, toss out, or throw overboard. It is a reference to the approximate depth of six fathoms (11 meters), the minimum legal depth needed for a burial at sea. It may also refer to six feet for a grave.
Ok I cheated and looked it up, couldn't sleep at night knowing you're all scratching your noggins.
